Why Dean!?

 

[AngelDuck]

If this costs more than a 5th rounder, the market is insane. In fact, a 5th might be an overpayment for the corpse of Iginla

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kill me.

 

[Foppberg]

Please oh god...

 

[kilowatt]

Yes, just what the Kings need...

Doughty

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Please.

Dean Lombardi is just grasping at straws.

 

[King'sPawn]

For ****s sake. This is not a playoff team, Dean. Why buy?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Dean Lombardi trades a conditional 6th round pick and his job hopefully for Jarome Iginla.

 

[Ivan13]

Poor sods. Like I said yesterday, whoever trades for him should get a dunce hat the very next second.

 

[Avs44]

We'll take anything. He's yours for a 6th.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Here's one that will send the Kings over the edge!

 

[Woodtkachuk]

Why are Kings so determined to buy considering their playoff position?

Dean's job must be on the line

What a pointless deadline if they end up with Bishop& Iginla.

My thoughts as well,bets are they probably don't even end up in the playoffs...

 

[JRull86]

He's obviously at the end of his career, but I do think in the right role he could be effective for the remainder of the season and playoffs.

But why the Kings of all teams are looking at him is beyond me. And why the feeling may be mutual is also beyond me.

That's one way of putting it, that's for sure

Iginla plays for the Colorado Avalanche.

It probably is on the line. Majority of veterans on this team are overpaid with HORRIBLE contracts. I'd make a pretty good argument the only vets that aren't overpaid are Carter and Lewis. (I'll accept quick too) He has put the Kings in a crappy spot for whoever takes over and has handcuffed himself. EVERY single player he signed as a free agent is gone or in Ontario. His job is absolutely on the line.

Iginla plays for the Colorado Avalanche.

I understand that, but given that he was so adamant about not waiving the NTC last year, and the Kings might not even make the playoffs. Why bother?

 

[KingPuckChoo]

the next Vinny LeCavalier!

yey!

i'm all for it

way better than Setoguchi and Purcell

and way better than Dwight King

i'll take him on our 3rd line

but most likely he'll play on Kopitar's wing lolll
