I dont know how much you can really extrapolate from that. That is not uncommon especially since we all know that Iggy didnt stay in Calgary during the off-season, as I recall hes a Kelownafornian.
So once he was no longer here it doesnt make much sense to maintain a residence somewhere you're never at. He moved his family to Boston so it wasnt like his wife and kids were still here or anything.
And its not like he sold it at a steep discount just to GTFO ASAP.

Thats entirely possible and, like you said, its just a feeling. I dont have any inside info either, but Iginla probably had lots of opportunities to leave and may not have appreciated being kicked out.
If hes bitter at Calgary or the Flames because of the trade...well...I dont know what to say about that. It was a long time coming, it was well overdue even. I think it was handled relatively respectfully, as much as it could have been, hell, they even traded him where he wanted to go in exchange for a bag of pucks. Not much more you can do.
