You forgot the O'Reilly fiasco.
Well, O’Reilly’s thing was just dumb, like most offer sheets, but it didn’t really hurt the Flames roster; so no harm no foul; just idiotic. But you’re wrong about Iginla. He was visibly shaken answering reporters’ questions and at some point said “I did not ask, I was asked. You want to play where you’re wanted.” So, yeah, this was on Feaster.
