Squeak Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Depends which teams want him. I could see Washington, Nashville, Pittsburgh, and St.Louis as teams that might have some interest, although this is just my speculation. Here's some ideas for each, there might be issues since I just came up with it quickly, but these could be a bases to a deal. To Pit: Jarome Iginla To Cgy: Simon Despres, 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Haired_Shanks Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Jarome should be given a shot at success. With the way the Flames are going that will never happen. To Vancouver - Iginla To Calgary - Luongo, Ballard, Raymond, 2nd. Luongo and Kipper work in tandem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossram Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 If Iginla makes it to free agency, I definitely wouldn't mind making a serious offer for a huge cup run next year. I doubt there will be a season at all, so no deadline deals here, but I wouldn't mind offering a high salary, short-term deal to give the Canucks (and Iginla) a shot at the Cup. Just ditch Booth and Ballard somehow for cap space, re-sign Higgins.

JHansenFan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Whenever we want a player this is what we have to offer Luongo+Ballard+Raymond+2nd. #CDCwizdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bxQb Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Iginla would net a high-end prospect and a 1st round pick from a contender. That said, I don't think Calgary will or should trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFutureGM Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The only way Iginla gets traded is if he requests for it. His value if traded at the beginning of the season would be determined by the new CBA. If the CBA has the proposed changes like a team being able to retain half of a players cap hit and or salary, Iginla would have more value but Calgary also isn't in a favorable cap position. They are right up there with the Canucks in terms of being close to the salary cap. In all likelihood, teams close to the cap now are going to have to make trades to get under the cap. Because Iginla's ratio of cap hit to impact aren't that great, he has low trade value since the Flames can't really retain any of his hit and most teams that would be interested in Iginla are close to the cap. Since the return wouldn't be great for Iginla, there is no way Calgary trades him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Let him play out his contract and ponder still playing for half a season and then sign with the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFutureGM Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Do you even know who Iginla is? As mentioned earlier Jarome has 11 straight seasons of scoring 30 or more goals. Of course he is worth his 7 mill a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 I shouldn't expect some wide eyed Canuck kid to know anything about NHL players not on the Canucks. Here's a quick overview for ya. Iginla is on the decline. Yes has had several seasons of 30 or more goals but he doesn't push the play. When Iginla is on the ice for the Flames, the Flames generally get shot on more than they produce shots. Iginla is also a liability defensively and if you watch him closely, is pretty much a cherry picker. Iginla isn't the player who scored 50 goals anymore. He's an aging veteran who lost a couple steps but still fancies himself as a goal scorer and not much else. Iginla is not good bang for buck value cap hit wise.

n00bxQb Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Feaster, is that you? That's right, keep rebuilding with "market price" free agents. THAT will be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFutureGM Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 No. Iginla's on the decline in age, but absolutely not in points. Here's his last 10 season's: 2001-02: 52 goals, 44 assists, 96 points 2002-03: 35 goals, 32 assists, 67 points 2003-04: 41 goals, 32 assists, 73 points 2005-06: 35 goals, 32 assists, 67 points 2006-07: 39 goals, 55 assists, 94 points 2007-08: 50 goals, 48 assists, 98 points 2008-09: 35 goals, 54 assists, 89 points 2009-10: 32 goals, 37 assists, 69 points, 2010-11: 43 goals, 43 assists, 86 points 2011-12: 32 goals, 35 assists, 67 points So again, what part of Iginla is on the decline? He's one of the best captain's and power forward's in the league. Again he is absolutely worth 7 million a season, not sure why you think he isn't.

bossram Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I agree. And if we have enough cap space we should sign Perry as well (only if Jensen isn't quite ready though) Sedin - Sedin - Iginla Kassian - Kesler - Perry Burrows - ???? - Higgins Volpatti - Lapierre - Hansen Dream team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 That would be a dream. Iginla and Perry would be an impossibly hefty payload. I don't think we could afford both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
