And you are 110% in the opposite direction giving him way to much flack, putting an almost absurd, villainous spin on the situation with him leaving. It's outright bizarre.

Again, Getback's post above underlines we don't even have close to the amount of details to make this conclusion. But not only have you leaped to said conclusion, you've suggested Iginla has no integrity and questioned his character as a result.

A) Why wouldn't he smile at the time of the trade? He was going from one of the worst teams in the NHL (who just told him he wasn't wanted there) to one of the best. Again, bizarre.
B) There's been several posters who've suggested from sources that Iginla may have changed his tune about wanting to come back. Situations (and teams) change. People change over.
The amount of leaping you're doing to construct a story you've built in your mind is the problem here. It's just not necessary to put such a sinister and dramatic spin on the situation.
