TSN: Bruins Acquire Jarome Iginla

[Neely08]

Flames fan here ... take care of our guy

We will, don't worry.

Iggy's always going to be a Flame in your memories, man.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Calgary will miss you, Iggy

Take care of him Bean Town. He's one of a kind.

 

[Pay Carl]

that conditional is huge to making me liking this so much more

same with me. It seemed like that was a fair price for a rental, but seriously we get him for even longer! oh my...

Chia just OWNED Shero. For a similar package he got Morrow and Murray haha

 

[MarchandNoseBest]

Pretty crazy that the 1st isn't even guaranteed, but I'll be shocked if the Bruins let Iginla into their program and don't deem him a must sign. This guy is just the perfect fit for the Bruins and what they are looking for. I'll be equally as shocked if Iginla doesn't LOVE it here contending after being in such a tough situation in recent years.

Calgary's getting that 1st, and we are getting Iginla for multiple years.

Not to pile on what likely are a sad bunch of Flames fans now (i don't blame them, dude is a hero in Calgary) but Feaster is a fool.

He didn't want Subban when if he played his hand right, he probably could have landed him (Calgary isn't exactly blooming with good goalie prospects)

Instead he gets an at best 5/6 d-man, a second line forward and a low first round pick.

Honestly if i was him i would have taken Bernier and Tofolli and ran like hell...glad he didn't though

They better make sure while they're burning down the rest of the house (no pun intended) that Feaster is still inside

Laurent Brossoit > Malcolm Subban.

Don't mind me, I know Brossoit irl so the homer in me is huge.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

As much as it pains me to cheer for you guys (Leafs fan), I have no choice, if/when the Leafs are eliminated I'm going to be cheering for the Bruins cuz of how much I love Iggy.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Can someone explain what a conditional trade is? He signs with us? Or he resigns with the Flames??

 

[remer]

Now we need a pick-up on the backend.

But look at the forwards:

Marchand Bergy Seguin
Lucic Krejci Iginla
Peverely Soderberg Horton
Paille Kelly Campbell

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Go home Feaster, you're drunk

This is how I feel.

I love this deal if they resign him. I was really afraid it was going to be a 8 week rental.

 

[dredeye]

They also just said Iggy missing tonight's game is the first he's missed in 6 years. WOW. Not checking to see if that's correct

 

[remer]

if he resigns with Boston they have to give up a 1st rd pick

 

[Trap Jesus]

This sounds too good to be true. There's no way in hell any GM gives up their franchise player for a good prospect, dime a dozen prospect and a CONDITIONAL first. That's absolute insanity. I know he was cornenred into talking with a few teams but even that should provide sufficient opportunities to drive up the price.

 

[617Marine]

Love it. Will miss koko's potential, but its Jarome freaking Iginla. Highway robbery with the conditional first.

 

[KuralySnipes]

wouldnt be surprised if top 4 dman is next

WELCOME TO BOSTON IGGY!

 

[BigBadBruin8]

About time. Huge. Huge.

Welcome to Boston, fella. See you in Philly on Saturday.

Unconfirmed but BOS-CGY appears to be Khokhlachev/Bartkowski/conditional 1st round pick for Iginla. 1st rder conditional on Iggy re-signing.


The pick is conditional. Chiarelli FTW though it's guaranteed Iginla will re-sign.

Conditional 1st? Wow, totally unexpected. If it's true, was highway robbery.

 

[dredeye]

If he signs with us the Flames get our first. If he doesn't they don't get it. Those are the conditions.

#22 and Daugauvins in the P box ... that is freaking sick.

 

[Hnidy Hnight]

What I like about Chiarelli is that he won't resign him for the sake of salavaging a trade. Should he not work out, he'll be gone like Kaberle

 

[KuralySnipes]

honestly.. the others mustve lost interest

 

[DoubleAAAA]

If he signs with us the Flames get our first. If he doesn't they don't get it. Those are the conditions.

If it is conditional I would guess it's not 1st or nothing likely a 2nd or 3rd that moves to a 1st on re-signing.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Wow. Really wow.

I know this isn't the Iggy in his prime, but damn this is freakin' cool!

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Thanks for clarifying this for me!

I think the conditional is more of a formality. They likely just couldn't get the negotiations done in time or fast enough for Chia's liking so they added the condition knowing it's gonna get done.
