I don’t see how it was a dick move by Iginla at all and think it is a poor take. We have a front office who had several public embarrassments in their short time in the job. From trading a 2nd round pick to dump a contract the team themselves could have buried in Europe so they could make a 9 year offer to a 31 year old player. Drafting a high school kid out of Quebec who no one had in the top 40 prospects and declaring him the best player in the draft class. Not understanding the CBA and nearly losing a 1st and a 3rd in compensation so another team could claim O’Rielly on waivers.

I am sorry that leadership team is easily the reason for this. Iggy choosing 1 team was his right as he gave it his all here for 16 years. Feaster making that deal with the Bruins was his own incompetence for not ensuring it would be agreed to by Iggy. End of the day Iggy paid the price as the Bruins swept his Pens and went on a cup final run. Really at the end of the day the Bruins package was equally as useless as the Pens one turned out to be.
