klosetotheheart 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...
70seven Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Its the "idea" of adding Iginla that is interesting, but really guys, IF Calgary trades him, it sure as hell wont be to a divisional rival. It'll likley be to Pittsburgh. They have way more of a need for a winger than we do, and have some young peices (Harrington, Despres, Tangradi...) that they could part with. Even if Iggy and Flames management would go the Vancouver route, I highly doubt Gillis would give up any young asset in an organization thats focused on building their system.

disisdayear Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 An option that may potentially be better for us is having MG re-visit/inquire of the availability of Shane Doan...looks like the Jamison ownership has fallen through, so Doan may be available and may be willing to waive his NTC. If doable, it would be great to see a trade that brings Doan to us for David Booth and a prospect package of Rodin and Connauton. Phoenix has a good group of young Euros, including Korpikoski and Ekman-Larsson, so Rodin might be a good complement for them; and in spite of their backend is still pretty young with Morris and Michalek being the only ones over 30, Connauton probably has a better shot at cracking the Coyotes roster than ours in the near term future. In Booth, they are getting a guy who, perhaps could be described as a younger, "Doan-light" (i.e., prorated over 82 game schedule, similar, albeit lower numbers over the past 3 years; 10 lbs. lighter; more prone to injury than Doan -- but who isnt'? --...and both are men of faith, though you don't hear a lot of PTL from Doan as you do with Booth). We'd be taking on more cap hit with Doan (vs. Booth), but that could be off-set by guys like Jensen stepping and taking a roster spot on an ETL contract. Other options packaged with Booth to consider in a trade if the Coyotes aren't looking for prospects: -Ballard -Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbriggs 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...
Tearloch7 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Jarome for Booth or Raymond is the absolute most I would pay .. he is almost ineffective, does little work and feeds off his linemates getting him the puck .. when they do not feed him, he does not score .. like so far this season ..

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The only way I see it happening is Calgary accepts a 5th/6th and 7th rounder, Connauton, Rodin, Beattie, and Honzik in trade. And that ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforhockey Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The asking price would probably be Jensen or Kassian+ Something I want no part of, especially since Kassian has been playing better than Iginla, and since we got a gem in Jensen.

Christophe Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 IF Iginla is traded. It will NOT be to a division rival. It will most likely be to a team out east, or if the offer is extremely good, stay in the west. I can't see the Lames taking anything from anybody in this division unless it's some of the following; Colarado - Landeskog/Duchene would have to be involved Minnesota - Granlund would be a go to Edmonton - Pretty much any of their plethora of up front talent Vancouver - Kassian/Goalie/Tanev or something. Honestly out of the 29 teams that would want to acquire him, Vancouver probably has the lowest chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthNinja Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 There are teams that would and could offer far more than the Canucks and the price for a team within the same division let alone conference to acquire him would be extremely high so I don't see it happening at all.

Moonshinefe Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Don't want that washed up bum near my team, gimme a break, look at how easily he get shoved off the puck nowadays, he's done, his time is coming to an end in the NHL. Canucks can get so much more value back in a Luongo trade than that, once a flame always a flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'd love to have Jarome Iginla on the Canucks. You can never have too many 30-40 goal scoring power forwards. Like others have said here though, I don't see it happening. Teams rarely trade to division rivals, and the asking price would probably be pretty steep. That being said, if through some freak series of events he does lace up for us, that'd be sweet. And by the way, yes Iginla is getting old and slowing down a bit, but look at the teams he scored all those goals on. Who did he have to play with? Imagine his offensive production if he was playing with a centerman of Henrik or Kesler's caliber. I definitely think Iginla would be scoring at a 40 goal pace again with those guys.

Down by the River Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Iggy has long been one of my favourite players. However, I think the Flames really made a big mistake in not trading him earlier. He has really lost a step, and if the Flames ever decide to rebuild, what they get back for Iginla will be nowhere near what they could have got 2-3 years ago.

pwnstar Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 If Iginla comes to Vancouver, he'll be a solid second line winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Everyone is missing the whole point of the deal. So what if Canucks gives up something that helps the Flames make the playoffs in the future if it means they can get that first Cup now? But I do agree with you guys on one thing: the Flames would be loathe to part ways with Iginla, especially to the Canucks. However, all things considered, Iginla has little other option to get a Cup. Canucks are far and away his best hope. Keep in mind, Iginla still has been one of the most consistent scorers of the decade and perhaps one of the most clutch performers of all time. There's no reason to believe that pairing him with elite playmakers like the Sedins can help him revive - and they'll need him to get past the hump. Keep in mind too, Iginla's on the last year of his contract, so the Flames cannot ask too high a price if they did make a trade. A 30th overall pick is a small price to pay for someone who can get you a Cup this season. Just saying though, the team as-is is in no shape to win the Cup. Sedins need a big clutch power forward to get them over the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
