Still have no idea why Feaster even told Iginla he had an acceptable offer from the Pens..He should have said I have ONE offer I will do...to Boston...make up your mind.
What if iginla knew without feaster telling him
I hope this works out as well as the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles and the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays

Feaster should've played hardball and said you can either stay here, or you can go to Boston (LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD, ever heard of putting pressure on a guy, Jay?) but I'm not dealing you to Pittsburgh for crap. You do what's best for your franchise first and foremost, not what's best for your franchise player who is leaving town. As if it wasn't bad enough that they messed up the Iginla trade by waiting too many years to do it and finally dealing him when he's a going on 36, declining (though still damn good) UFA to be, then they don't even get the deal that they wanted when they finally do trade him. Just a flat out mess from a Flames perspective.Still have no idea why Feaster even told Iginla he had an acceptable offer from the Pens..He should have said I have ONE offer I will do...to Boston...make up your mind.
You really have to hand it to Shero. He was brilliant in this.
"What is Boston offering?... Hmmm... I have an idea"
Thinks... I'll bet Jerome wants us more than them and Feaster is a ***ing idiot, let's float a couple of "interesting" prospects and our First round pick.
It was BRILLIANT. He bet that Feaster was an absolute MORON that would choose how the player "felt" over what was best for his franchise. Any person on the PLANET with a drop of sales experience would have told Jerome;
"Look, we love you baby, we feel you, but you owe it to the fans and the city to do what's best for the team. Go show Pittsburg that YOU are going to put Boston over the top and take the cup from them. Boston won it 2 years ago, YOU are the piece they need.... Let's call Peter directly now and share the news.."
Feaster is a tool.

Sooo much whiny butt hurt here. Geez, Iginla owes the Boston fans absolutely nothing! Feaster owes the Bruins absolutely nothing! The deal was not done because nothing was signed. Then and only then is a deal truly done. **** happens, I wanted Iggy here just like everyone else and waking up this morning felt like a swift kick to the testes. But sweet jesus, just because we were on the short list meant we were an option, and we were an option he decided to not take (which he had every right to do). Its not slimy. Its not underhanded. JArome didn't throw all his integrity out the window. He didn't take the "easy way out" by going to the hottest team in the NHL, if you're trying to get a ring THIS year how can you say the Pens aren't the favorite?!? Buck up Bart, the season is not over. The pens 2 best players have injury concerns a mile long. Were clearly not firing on all cylinders and are still one of the top 3 teams in the east.
I'd say the biggest villain in this is my man AWard for announcing a deal that wasn't inked. Now give me Jagr and Streit. This concludes my biannual post, back to lurking and shaking my head
