This wasn't a move to make the Avs worse. This was a move to give Iginla significantly better odds of making one final playoff run (even if those odds still aren't great).
If they don't make this move, they're paying 100% of his salary. It's not like teams were lining up to take him.

There was a heavy degree of cynicism in that post. I disagreed with Iggy's choice to sign in Colorado from Day 1. He took the paycheque and now they're trying to foist it off onto someone else.
Theres no dignity to be found here, now hes just bouncing from team to team.
Its a sad end for a great player.
