No...but I don't know why my point is being misunderstood.
Again - he was well within his rights to do what he wanted. If you don't want players to have that right, don't give them NTCs. I think it is hypocritical to dish those out and then expect players to waive them at your whim.
But I also think when folks start to say that he did the Flames a favor, that also isn't true.
The scenario was, in theory, a win-win. Iggy had a chance to get a cup and the Flames extracted some value.
If it wasn't a win-win it wouldnt' happen.
I think the Flames are guilty of treating Iginla with kid gloves though - thinking that it would be insulting to get official sign off when in retrospect that's what they should have done.
