Don't know why people keep blaming Feaster as if Iginla doesn't have an agent looking out for his best interests and also Iginla looking out for his best interests.
I'm sure when Feaster said Boston made an offer Iginla or his agent did their due diligence and asked if another offer had been made. Any agent would do that for their client. When Pittsburgh had made one as well Iginla made his choice.
Not on Feaster.

matter of opinion...a good GM gets a player to sign off on a few teams and then does the negotiating himself without the agent poking his nose around. Would Iggy honestly have turned down Boston if they said Boston was the only deal they would accept? Obviously not he signed there 4 months later. Iggy himself said he thought the offers were pretty similar...maybe Feaster should have acted like a GM and not let the player and agent do his job for him.
