Would you do Subban, Peverley, and 1st since we'd likely have to move him to re-sign Iginla anyway?
If Spooner, Subban and Koko re-entered the draft this year, where would they get picked?
Wonder if Flames might have interest in Krug? It's been reported they were looking for a potential top 4 d-man prospect from Pittsburgh (although that might be a stretch for Krug), and Kirk hinted on twitter that Flames scouts are very familiar with NCAA prospects and could be looking at College prospects.
Krug/Subban/1st? Krug/Peverley/1st?
All 1st round imo, Spooner and Koko mid-late with Subban around the middle of the pack. That still doesn't really guarantee anything though, first rounders fail to pan out often enough, especially goalies.
It'd be a chance I'd take honestly. Smaller skill players Boston has, they need to add size and talent and Iginla is both even at 35. That goal he scored last night to win the game was all work, pretty impressive, but that's just what he brings.

Just a random thought: If Calgary is truly interested long term goaltending, maybe Gothberg could be thrown in as a mild sweetener to any deal. He's not going to replace anyone of significant value as far in any trade, but it might be an interesting throw in. Personally, unless LA or Chicago have already set a standard, I'd see what Feaster says to Caron, Knight, and a 1st and leave the door open to adding Gothberg and possibly Krug. But since that it's probably the pipe dream of all pipe dreams to want to give up eight dimes and a nickel for a dollar, it's most likely going to be something like koko, Caron/Krug, and a 1st to even be considered. And I'd still offer Gothberg as a sweetener to that.
Either suggestion is still an absurd overpayment for Iginla, IMO. If you want to do Krug, Knight, second, then maybe it's okay. But to give up a first, your first from last year, and a decent prospect for nothing more than a rental (who is playing his worst hockey in years) is insane.
So effectively you'd be willing to give up 3 first round picks for Iginla? Is it fair to say that?

3 first rounders is too much for me. You can hedge it as much as you want, but if you believe those guys would still go in the first round, you are giving up three first rounders and the promise that brings. Seeing as our pick is late, I'd peg Iginla as worth one 1st, and either a 2nd or another 1st depending on if he re-signs. Swap one of those picks for either Spooner or Subban and I could swallow it. Anything more than that seems ridiculous to me.If you wanted to look at it like that it's fair enough I'd say, but only in the context of where two overagers and Boston's last years first rounder go in today's draft. Extra development matters. Kalus and Karsums were 2nd rounders who likely would have gone higher if they re-entered the draft when they were dealt as well.............
There would have to be a positive vibe around him resigning for me to bite though.

Put another way, I say Iginla is a slight upgrade on Horton right now (same contract status too). If there was a Horton clone out there, would you give say 2 first rounders to get him? I wouldn't even think about that.

For that let's get Fleischmann better player and would go with DK and signed for 2 more years
