The Calgary Flames have traded their captain and all-time scoring leader, Jarome Iginla, to the Boston Bruins, TSN's Aaron Ward reported late Wednesday night.

Iginla, 35, has nine goals and 22 points this season for the struggling Flames. He has played his entire NHL career in Calgary, scoring 525 goals. He had played 441 consecutive games before the Flames scratched him Wednesday night for a game against the Colorado Avalanche. He had appeared in every game for Calgary since April 8, 2007.

Iginla will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

According to Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com, the Bruins are sending center Alexander Khokhlachev, defenseman Matt Bartkowski and a first-round draft pick at this year's NHL Draft to Calgary.

I have a lot of respect for Iginla. I will never for get Trveor Linden's last game which was against Calgary in Vancouver. When the game was over, Iginla lined his Flames team up and each one of them shook Linden's hand, Iginla last. How can one not respect a man like that. Things like that just don't happen much. You can't buy class and there are few players as classy as Iginla.
