The issue that all those teams had was cap space to pay him the salary he wanted. He sort of skirted it in Boston signing a bonus laden +35 deal that put the Bruins in a cap bind the following year. Essentially earning a 6 million dollar salary for a 1.5 cap hit that year. But Pittsburgh and L.A. likley were not able to meet his wage requests at that time. He opted to get paid and tried to pick an up and coming team. He ended up getting it wrong unfortunately for him.

That's entirely correct. Iggy always got paid. He went to Colorado because they offered him the most money.
