The one that should have looked bad in all of this was Iginla, but with the hero worship and all, that was never a possibility. Feaster will always have that trade hanging around his neck when it was Iginla that shafted the team.

Based on how Feaster operated you are giving him far too much credit here. Iginla gave a list of teams he was interested in but Feaster assumed that meant he was 100% waiving for those teams.
Once again Feaster didn’t interpret the situation properly and it resulted in the organization embarrassing itself. I remember the day after the trade Ken King was on Prime Time Sports and admitted they should have confirmed with Iginla the move to Boston before agreeing to it.
You are giving the moron who was a joke of a GM credit and trying to lay blame on the all time franchise great as screwing the team? You can’t possibly be doing that can you?
