TSN: Bruins Acquire Jarome Iginla

[Nose Face Killah]

Do you think he'll re sign with Boston next season or whenever he has to?

 

[TCL40]

Shea Weber for Caron and a 4th

No way would I want the B's to absorb that contract.

But that would probably work on NHL 13.

Do hope the B's will get a defensive pick up-would love somebody who is a top two pairings kind of player.

Ference has sucked so bad this year, I would be afraid to see him bumped up to that 2nd pairing.

 

[Andrew83]

Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Lucic - Krejci - Iginla
Soderberg - Peverley - Horton
Paille - Kelly - Campbell

That is a godlike forward group to head into the playoffs with

Wow it's like we have two 1st lines and two 3rd lines. If Soderberg pans out and Horton gets back to form it could be like two 1st lines, one 2nd line, and one 3rd line.

This has got to be Claude's dream in being able to roll 4 lines like these.

 

[GodTukka*]

The least we can do for Flames fans is give Iggy a shot at the promised land.

It'll help soothe the pain

 

[Alan Ryan]

Does Soderberg still fit here

No question he will fit if they can work out his transfer.

Lucic - Krejci - Iginla
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Soderberg - Peverly - Horton
Paille - Kelly - Campbell

Spares: Thornton, Caron and Pandolfo

Awful trade for Calgary.

They basically got nothing for Iggy.

 

[BadBruins]

I don't see anything wrong with the return for Calgary (if that the finalized deal). They got a top prospect, a 1st, and a secondary prospect. wasn't that the asking price from the beginning?

 

[zaYG]

Wow it's like we have two 1st lines and two 3rd lines.

I'd say more like two 1st lines, a 2nd line, and a 3rd. That is, if everyone plays up to snuff.

Realistically it might be a 1st, a 3rd, and two 4ths.

I think Feaster *did* ask for "better" prospects initially.

I have a feeling there will be a statue of Chia-Pet outside the Garden one day...

Lucic - Krejci - Iginla
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Soderberg - Peverly - Horton
Paille - Kelly - Campbell

Spares: Thornton, Caron and Pandolfo

That's the deepest group of forwards the Bruins have had since 08/09.

Awful trade for Calgary.

I wouldn't say nothing.....gonna get a 1st rd pick and Kohkhlachev was incredible for Russia at WJC and was among the best players on the team right with Yakupov & Nichushkin

 

[MarchandNoseBest]

I really hope not. Guy is terrible. Please get Streit, as improbable as that may be...

Please don't. I'm not overly protective of prospects and love the Iginla deal, but to me you have to balance winning now vs. going overboard to win now. Streit and other top D's available will cost a lot and we simply can't afford to re-sign them with the cap dropping next year.

Iginla was a different situation because we can very likely make it work past this year so you aren't just getting a pure rental. But after getting Iginla and Rask extended, we'd be maxed out and we can't afford to re-sign a Streit or Visnovsky or whoever. And I despise the idea of giving up a Spooner type or another 1st rounder or whatever else it's going to cost to land a legit top 4 D who is going to walk at the end of the year. Paying high prices for rentals is bad business.

We need to be bargain shopping on D. Get a change of scenary guy (remember what a change of scenary did for Brian Rolston last year?) like Whitney for a reasonable price and hope either a.) he steps up his game or b.) McQuaid is ready for the playoffs.

No. Feaster was probably trying to accommodate his class act superstar player, who obviously wanted to come here, as opposed to what was better for Calgary. Therefore, he was in a position of weakness from the get go. He did the right thing for Iggy.

When we traded Bourque, Bourque wanted to stay on the east coast. Harry, unbeknownst to Bourque, made a deal w/ Colorado, which ended up being the right one. And, the rest is history.

I don't want Calgary fans coming in here and thinking we're A-holes b/c we're gloating a/b who "won" the trade. If I saw that in 2000 I'd of been sick. Not what this was about. It was a/b giving Iggy a chance to compete for a Cup. These poor people just got punched in the stomach.

it was all in joke but i can respect that.

Awful trade for Calgary.

They had their backs to the wall. And those prospects aren't "nothing" koko is good. So is Bart and the 1st could be okay at high 20s.

 

[corpfan1]

Don't forget the DOGMAN!

Woof woof!

No question he will fit if they can work out his transfer.

Lucic - Krejci - Iginla
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Soderberg - Peverly - Horton
Paille - Kelly - Campbell

Spares: Thornton, Caron and Pandolfo

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I'm starting to feel a little bit for Koko... being the centerpiece of the return. He'll have critics in Calgary for sure.

 

[unifiedtheory]

Go win the ****ing Stanley ****ing Cup.

 

[BayStBullies]

Highway robbery; what the heck was Calgary thinking?

They must be gunning for the record of consecutive 1st overall picks. Good luck on that one... yikes.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

With 15 "NHL" Forwards and Soderberg still a possibility, I think there's a high chance that one of the forwards is moved for a defenseman.

 

[Sevren]

I don't see anything wrong with the return for Calgary (if that the finalized deal). They got a top prospect, a 1st, and a secondary prospect. wasn't that the asking price from the beginning?

Yeah, I don't get that neither. Seems like a decent return even if its not great.

 

[Paulinho]

Tip your cap to the Bruins, excellent trade for them.

 

[617Marine]

It's hilarious that people on the main board can say "flames got hosed" and "Iggy's washed up at 35" in the same breathe.
I'd like to remind everyone (mostly those griping on the main) that we traded ray-one of the best defenseman of all-time-for Brian Rolston, Martin grenier, Sammy Pahlsson, and a 1st (I believe Martin Samuelson)?

 

[Paulinho]

But honestly, Calgary fans deserve to be mad, not the return anyone expected...

 

[Andrew83]

With 15 "NHL" Forwards and Soderberg still a possibility, I think there's a high chance that one of the forwards is moved for a defenseman.

Yeah they still have more than enough pieces to make that happen if they want to.
