The trainer told Conroy, who told Iginla, who then beat Phaneuf in the locker room (you may recall Iginla having a black eye about a week or two before the trade). I can't remember if Conroy was involved in that last part but there was definitely an Iginla/Phaneuf confrontation.

Jarome goes to Darryl and says it's me or him. Darryl picks up the phone and starts the wheels moving to get Phaneuf out of town as quickly as possible. They did a really good job diffusing it with the media.
:eek
