DownUndaCanuck Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 He might end up in Boston. They just freed up a big chunk of salary by losing Thomas, and have plenty of great prospects they can throw over to Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 He's a great player and respectable on and off the ice. But I can't see him get traded to a team that is in the Flames' division. If he wanted to finish his career somewhere else, then I could see him going to the East Coast and playing with a team like the Penguins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 If I was going to go after an aging vet, I'd probably go for Jagr, who is just as good at this point, lower cap hit (easier to fit in), and according to Hartnell and Giroux, probably the biggest workout animal in the NHL still, and look what he did for both of them last year. Unlike Calgary though, Dallas may be a borderline playoff team, so it's hard to say if he'll be available... and I'm reasonably certain that he'll cost less, because Dallas will be under less pressure to get a big haul overall.

cool story bro Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not worth it for us, and you're delusional if you actually think Iginla would ever want to play for the Nucks, or that Feaster would ever trade him here. I respect Iggy, great guy, great player--but he will never be a Canuck, and that's just fine with me, and pretty much everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazdaspeed3 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My view is that Iginla would be fired up in the playoffs with any chance to win a cup. The last few years Iginla has been slow starting the season, this year is no different and I think his game will pick up by mid season. The problem is with his cap hit of 7 Mill, it would be tough to make room, I also know that we will have cap troubles next year and will have to dump salary. With the way Ballard is playing I really don't think it should be him going. My suggestion, offer up Booth straight up for Iginla. Calgary gets a replacement winger thats under contract for a few years and we rid ourself of his cap hit. Booth has been absolutely useless for us when he's healthy, which isn't nearly often enough. We get a guy that will help us tremendously in the playoffs, Calgary gets something tangible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I know what all of you are thinking - no way on earth is this going to happen, why would Calgary part ways with their franchise leader - especially to perhaps their biggest rival - and why would Iginla come? Fact is though, Iginla has only one year remaining on his contract - he likely will re-sign with Calgary if he chooses to continue playing (at 37 years of age). Trouble is, they're in no shape to win a Stanley Cup this year and unless an off-season miracle happens, they're in no shape to win next year either. It'll be safe to assume that Iginla won't win a Cup if he stays in Calgary. As things are for Canucks, Kesler's return could help give an offensive spark - but it may not be quite enough to get over the hump. The Sedins have always been silenced in the playoffs when playing a physical opponent, and there is little guarantee Kesler can make up for their loss - if he can show up un-injured. With this trade, the Flames could get something in return (like a first-rounder) and could re-acquire their captain in the offseason. The Nucks, meanwhile, can get perhaps one of the game's all-time greatest clutch performers to help wake up the Sedins during the playoffs. Put him on Henrik's right wing and he'll help open up space so they can get to the net unhindered by the Bollands and Marchants. That'll lead to increased post-season offense, which could make all the difference to getting the Cup. Everyone in question wants to win. The Canucks want to win. Iginla (and the Flames) want to win, but all parties can't have everything at once. Someone has to make a sacrifice, and if I were a Flames fan, I would willingly part with Iginla just to see him get a ring if that's the only option.

Tom Sestito Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't think this trade is meant for our team. This trade would require an overpayment/underpayment sorta thing. We'd need to send at least 3.5 mil in salaries to calgary. I think Calg's expecting a top six forward, a top tier prospect, and a mid round pick, which is a lot. I don't think giving up something like Booth + Jensen/Schroeder/Kassian/Lack + a fourth makes too much sense for us. This trade isn't meant for us seeing as we have a low prospect pool to just get rid of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmotamed Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sometimes I see flashes of brilliance in him, other times, he just looks over & done-with! But perhaps all he needs is a change of scenery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Say Ballard continues to play like a top 4 D man, I know this may sound like an overpayment but To Vancouver: Jarome Iginla To Calgary: Keith Ballard, Brendan Gaunce, 2013 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's because it is an overpayment. A slightly overpaid defenceman who's worth 75% of his contract, a near for sure 3rd line checking center, who can become a top six player if he picks up his speed, and a first round pick in a deep draft. really sucks to say, but we don't have the assets to give ; maybe a prospect filled organization would suit him. unless feaster goes full retard and takes an offer of booth + some depth fwd + a first. then we'll party.

mephnick Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Remember we'd be trading for Iginla 2013, not Iginla 2005. The guy is barely a factor on a crappy team these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
