Honestly I can see kipper getting a conditional 2nd round pick which becomes a 1st if the Leafs win 1 or 2 play off series.
How does that make sense if Reimer is in net through the playoffs?
Not happening.

Seems like I'm in the minority on this one, judging by the general concensus on this thread, but I feel a lot worse about the idea of the flames trading kipper over iginla.
Since he's came to the flames, he's been the sole reason why the flames have been in hundreds of games. The flames were routinely out shot and kipper stood on his head and game them a chance.
To see him be talked about being traded to a leaf team that doesn't seem to want him is what's bumming me out so much, or if they want him, they don't think he's worth anything more than a 3rd. I really wish there was a team out there that wanted to accept him with open arms, not a fan base that will turn on a player and not give them a chance to show everyone what he can do before all the hate starts flying.
I think that kipper has meant more to this team than anyone ever gives him credit for and I for one, will be very sad to see him go.
With the Flames playing tonight, wouldnt they have to recall someone quickly in order to have a backup play tonight?
no recall = No kipper deal IMO.
The panel on Tradecentre just said Kipper doesn't want to be traded because of family reasons, and plans on retiring at season's end
WOuld he actually retire this summer you think?
Flames get nothing for him which is brutal.
Cant even imagine what where we would be if we had rebuilt last year.
Good intellectual Honesty by Feaster...

Just told the Flames he'll no longer move. God dammit Kipper. I have lost all respect for you. You suck this year, and you gave yourself a no-trade clause. Thanks for screwing over the Flames. How about we just play JoeyMac from now on? That guy hasn't played bad yet!

... Seriously?
It's OK, jeben is not even from the Calgary area... being in Philly and not having a connection with players from 'your team' in the local community must really suck.Welcome to HF where a players history doesn't matter and the fact that they have expressed their wishes to not move their family makes them a villain.

All the best to you, Kiprusoff to you and your family!
Im not going to come in here and agree with him, and I understand Kiprusoff has to look out for his best interests here.
Lets be reality though, it is a selfish move, and im not saying is the wrong move for him but in the end it is selfish.
He still has a year on that contract and you can bet if it was for another $5M he would still be playing.
We now, get nothing for our franchise goalie because he was unwilling to go play 20 games in another sweater. If it's for family reasons its understandable, but it better not be a bunch of fluff then.
Has there been any more reports of issues with his wife or the baby? Last I heard there was some birth complications, so I hope all is well.
