Ehrhoffawesome Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Iginla. The question for this forum is do you think Iginla will be traded in the first place and if so who would the Canucks have to give up to get The long time flames capitan. Think about how awesome the sedins would be with Iginla on the right! The guys resume is great; two gold medals, Stanley cup finals apperance all star, and dispite being 33 and past his heyday his still playing some darn good hockey. He probably wants a cup contender an he did say he would wave his NTC and he probably dosnt want to go to far from Calgary so, what will make a deal and do you think it's a realistic possiblity?

Joker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The Flames' GM was on After Hours yestarday on CBC. He said that he would not trade Iginla. So this talk about Iginla being shipped, or wanting to get shipped, needs to stop because he isn't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 see that makes no sense, since Iginla is one of the only assets he can get a good return on to try to turn the team around in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You can't really say that Iginla won't be traded (although, I didn't see the interview). A GM can never say that they are going to trade a specific player, simply because their value just diminishes. Would you expect him to say "Yes, we will be looking to trade Jarome in the right situation." What kind of message is that sending to the team? Publically, of course he is going to say he is not going to be traded, but you don't know what is happening behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstad101 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 LA needs to be on this. It would get them to a home ice seed in the first round I bet. They don't allow many goals often. If they could score an extra 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC2 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think its only a matter of time before they do trade him. The Flames look like they are going into full rebuild mode next season, unless they have some miraculous comeback, and Iginla is one of the few players that has good value. The older he gets the less he is worth and the clock is ticking. They may be truthful when they say they don't want to trade him but if they want any solid young talent to jump start their rebuild they will have to trade the few assets they have.

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Feaster said making the playoffs was still the goal this year barring a major drop off (so last place?), and that they'd consider a rebuild. So trading Iggy while trying to make a playoff push would be stupid, however should they go into rebuild, then it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 He would have been the perfect fit to help us beat boston No way he is traded within the division. Calgary has to trade him though, they need to rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 He's probably the central piece in their core at least at present; with Regehr gone (nice move, made it easier on the Twins to cycle and not worry about getting clocked against the boards) their core's essentially him (Iggy), Kipper, Giordano, J-Bo, Tanguay, B-Mo, Bourque, and an up-and-coming Backlund (plus maybe Glencross, Jackman and Babchuk as strong supporting pieces-- Karlsson too?); with Iggy gone though the rest of the team's drastically weakened so they won't give him up that easily, and it'll take some emerging pieces to pry him away (which was why LA looked to be in the forefront w/ their young pieces that could've come into play) I'm not sure that the Canucks would be up there in terms of teams he'd want to go to for more than a rental, plus he would be expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
