Iggy: Best To Move On?

[acr*]

I don't think that's entirely true. The options were likely dependent on the cap. With the decision being made for the lower end of the cap it pretty much left Chiarelli with no flexibility for what he could offer Iginla.

If the cap went to the high end, we still couldn't have given him multi-year deal, which is what he wants.

Jarome Iginla hitting market. Colorado, Minnesota, Tampa and Detroit among teams interested... could be more.

All could win a Cup so good luck to him

 

[OLD51JOHN]

Iginla???

Do you think that this team can make the playoffs without him??? If the answer is yes ... Will all the naysayers go home til then ....The hew and cry thru out the season is I cant wait til the end of the regular season ...I think that it is a great chance to see if our kids can play in the bigs.. If not then you make a trade... If we dont play our draftees some time why do we draft them ??

this sucks. good luck finding a better fit. In february when everyone is complaining that we're soft on the wings I hope all the Iggy haters remember this day.

 

[BMC]

Yes the Bruins can do it. Remember, they lost Mark Recchi to retirement but were back in the playoffs in 2012 and 2013.

 

[Hali33]

Don't blame either side for moving on. It is what it is.

SportsNet reporting that Iginla is looking for a 3-year deal.

Goodbye Iggy

 

[TD Charlie]

Yeah. Adios muchacho. Somebody will give him 3 years too.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Does Colorado, Minnesota or Tampa Bay offer 3-years?

 

[acr*]

No big loss, imo. He had a good season, but I think we can find a suitable replacement internally or through trade.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Good bye, sweet prince.

Tampa yes....not sure about the others.

Let the HFBoston smear campaign begin!

 

[DNE3]

Jarome Iginla will go down in Boston history as a one-year stopgap player on a team that was ousted from playoffs in the second round. And then the sun came up the next day. Good luck with remainder of career, Jarome.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Let the HFBoston smear campaign begin!

let's be honest, it already started weeks ago. 500+ goals including another 35 with this team and yet by the summer's end people will have themselves convinced he's a scrub if they don't already.

Colorado, Minnesota, Tampa and Detroit have no CHANCE at winning a Cup. None.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Colorado, Minnesota, Tampa and Detroit have no CHANCE at winning a Cup. None.

Colorado and Minnesota absolutely have a chance at winning a cup within the next 2 or 3 years which is what he'd likely be signed for.

 

[DKH]

Iggy leaves he is dead to me I can't wish him success. If he's not in the spoked B the heck with him.

None ?

No they don't, IMO. The Avs will take a step back, it's inevitable. Everyone on that roster had career years. The Wild caught lightning in a bottle in the playoffs.

When you have the Kings (who are still pretty young), the Hawks (who are the Hawks), the Ducks (who are only getting better) and the Sharks (they are still good) that you have to leap frog? No chance.

Through a trade? Maybe.

Internally? That won't come to fruition for another couple of seasons.

Yup, the guy was great for us and somehow slotting Loui with Krejci and Lucic is gonna replace a leading scorer.

I love how people **** on Loui all season and now they have no problem putting him on the first line. Personally I think he'll be fine there, but spin from people here is insane.
