If Jarome Iginla was a Rental, Where Would You Want to See Him Go?

[Shawnofthedeadz]

Okay, lets pretend Flames management decides Jarome Iginla should be traded at the trade deadline. No matter whether or not this is the correct decision, I am curious what teams people would like to see him on.

So what team would you like to see Jarome on? Why? And what would the Flames get in return?

My choice is Pittsburgh. I think reuniting Crosby and Iginla would be awesome to watch. It would greatly increase Jarome's production. Heck, if Kunitz is on pace for 100+ points, Imagine Jarome's pace. I feel we could see a 60 goal scoring pace from him. In return I see the Flames getting Maatta and/or Bennett + 1st.

Id like to see him on the Blues. I think he would fit well in their group and I have a soft spot for them.

Flame suit on, The Canucks.

 

[Janks]

Boston (East), or Chicago (West).

I'd love to see him with either team, to play for a contender, and to have a chance for the cup. He's done enough for Calgary to warrant a choice to move.

 

[Svenner]

For Jarome i'd like to see him traded to the Penguins. For the Flames I like the Blues as trading partners.

Flame suit on, The Canucks.

smh.

Bruins or Pens.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Bruins or Pens.

 

[Skobel24]

Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks, Rangers, Blues, LA.

Actually... send him to whomever we get the best return from, even if it's the Oilers.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Penguins seems like the best fit as they have left that right wing position open. But I'd be fine with a good Cup contender.

Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks, Rangers, Blues, LA.

Probably not a good idea, he wants to win a cup so he should go to someone who has the best shot this year. That way, we make him happy and there is a higher probability he resigns with us in the off season. Also I'm not a fan of trading him to a western team. I don't want to be forced to watch him kick our teams ass. That would just make me sad.

 

[Flamer12]

Of course like to see him with Crosby but would like to see him stay in Canada. Never even hear Montreal mentioned so assume they do not have the cap space or the assets to give up. Or they are like me and do not think they are actual cup contenders.

 

[MarkGio]

Thee Bruins are good because they have a lot of depth and only really lack a top 6 winger. The Rangers, Canucks, and Blues are my alternative choices because they're positioned for a cup run. The Penguins lack depth IMO. The Red Wings lack defense. The Sharks lack something, they always do. Chicago could do it too, but goaltending is always a question mark. Philly is like the Sharks and lacks a certain I don't know what. And who's left as a bonafide favorite? No team repeats so the Kings are out

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Pittsburgh, Boston, St. Louis, Montreal, and Toronto.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

This.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Bruins or Penguins

 

[BVicious]

Philly is my other favorite team, so I would like a bidding war and Philly to panic and give us a huge deal. Then Iggy wins it with Philly. I would like any center's they have.

 

[Nordberg]

Would love to see him suit up for the Habs if it came to that. Don't really care as long as we maximize the return, but not Vancouver. Anywhere but there.

 

[Calculon]

Preferably the Hawks or the Bruins. Maybe the Penguins in a pinch.

Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks, Rangers, Blues, LA.

What makes you think he'd waive his NTC for anything less than a cup contender?

I never said it was a logical possibility. The thread was simply "where would you want to see him go"?

I responded with whatever gives the best return.

 

[weephil56]

I would love to see him with the bruins.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Bruins or Pens. Preferably the first option.

I could also live with Chicago and LA.

Doubt Philly makes a move with their struggles and Ottawa is my real first pick but with Karlsson out and Spezza not back for sure yet, its highly unlikely.

Iginla is apparently taking some time to think if he wants to remain a Flame and is holding off contract talks till then. It could be that for the first time he's actually looking at life outside of Calgary. I believe that if they haven't made any slight progress on contract talks in the next week or two, we could see Iginla on his way out. There's no way that management lets him walk in July for nothing. The trade deadline is approaching and it should be an interesting one for the Flames.

I'm curious as to how you know this? Any source?
