I don't think Iggy screwed the Flames, he exercised a part of his contract he was entitled to. However, I also think it demonstrates that, like most players, he put himself ahead of what was right for the Flames. Which was his right.

It was also his right to refuse to be traded. Which he didn't do. So he agreed to a trade because the Flames organization wanted him to.
So really, he did the Flames a favor by waiving his NTC in the first place.
Classy move I'd say.
