So Feaster's "fault" I suppose, but Iginla basically waved his middle finger at the franchise on his way out.

What a load of crap. Questioning the integrity of one of the classiest players in the league for making a decision about his future career / family is beyond asinine.
He was told he wasn't going to be re-signed and had the option to go wherever he felt he'd best have a shot at wining a cup. I'm sure it was a difficult time and decision, and he had every right to change his mind if he hadn't signed off on anything. I can completely see how a phone call from Crosby and the Penguin's run changed his mind.
The way a few people in the fan base try to spin that as him purposely screwing the team over is a massive reach... and this tiresome topic is honestly as played out as debating the Jankowski draft pick.
I get that it's summer, but the fact this thread has devolved to this tired, old debate is really sad.
