I am pretty sure that Iginla verbally gave a shortlist of teams he would be willing to go to, but then backed out of Boston after he found out that Pittsburgh made an offer.
Whether or not it was right to present Iginla with both options and allow him to choose is between him and the team. It's not the way it has to be done, and according to other managers, it is not the way it is typically done.
