TSN: Iginla submitted a list of four teams he would approve a trade to

[Volica]

As the April 3 NHL trade deadline approaches, speculation continues to swirl around Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla.

Sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger that Iginla submitted a list of four teams he would approve a trade to; the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings.

The Flames have taken the position of not commenting on the speculation.

The 25-year-old Iginla is in the final year of a three-year, $21 million deal and will be an unrestricted free agent following the season.

Through 29 games this season, he has eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points.

Drafted by the Dallas Stars in the first round (11th overall) in 1995, Iginla was traded to the Flames on Dec. 19, 1995, in exchange for Joe Nieuwendyk. He has played 1,217 regular season games for the Flames dating back to the 1996-97 season.

Is this 2003?!

Is this 2003?!

I read the same thing and giggled.
I was like, I wish, 25 y.o Iggy again lol

 

[SaneQ]

I hate the Pens, but would like to see what Iggy can come up with as Crosby or Malkin as his center... Maybe he can score over 30 goals and continue his streak?

 

[Gritty]

I'm sorry but if we're giving up 25yr old Iggy I expect kings ransom! Elite #1 C coming back our way.

 

[StreakingRed]

Send him out East.

Definitely not LA, being how they'll be in our division next year.

Pittsburgh or Boston.

 

[King In The North]

Best return, I don't care about East or West.

 

[Trae]

Mark my words, IF Iginla is traded, I will immediately go and buy his new jersey... even if it is Vancouver. Crossing my fingers for Pittsburgh or Boston.

Please don't be Vancouver












...followed shortly after with a MacKinnon/Jones/Barkov Flames jersey.

 

[Kranix]

Best return, I don't care about East or West.

any return. and Pittsburgh. I just want to see him win.

 

[TylerSVT*]

Sucks, but its a needed change.

If I had the money, I would probably do the same (sans Vancouver).

 

[Backlund]

Best return, I don't care about East or West.

I agree with this unless its Vancouver. I'd rather have him play for the Islanders.

 

[Volica]

Why are people mentioning Vancouver even? wasn't on his list lol?

Whoever wants to pay the most. I'm down with.
I'd rather see him out East, but if Chicago feels like dealing big, then let'em

 

[MarkGio]

I'll be happy to see Iginla go to a competitor and that's it. Regardless of the return, or whoever the club (including Vancouver) I would be so happy to see Iginla lift lord Stanley.



And then sign in Calgary

If he wins it this year I could see him re-signing here if not I don't think we will see him in a flames jersey again until he is well over the hill ala Smyth.

 

[BVicious]

I for one can't believe how sad this is. For almost half my life I've been cheering him on for my home team. Now I have to watch him play in another jersey.

I think there might be a good chance Feaster doesn't get what he wants for him and is left with a sub-par return. Really the ball is in those 4 teams courts. Just hope Pit and Bos start a bidding war. Otherwise try don't have to offer as much as we hope, knowing the flames are now in a desperate spot.


Man I'm gonna be sad when he goes. He prolly won't cry like R. Smyth did, but I sure as hell will.

That's why I want him to win it this year

Yea I want him to win this year as well, but to be honest if he goes to another team wins and doesn't want to come back to this cluster**** I will not blame him at all. As much as I love watching him on the Flames we haven't seen him have fun playing hockey in several years I think if he goes to Pitts and has fun again he won't come back.

If Boston want iginla, i go with this :

Iginla

vs

Horton (UFA next year)
M. Subban
Jared Knight
first round pick (only if Horton don't sign with us)

In the same time, we going to be good on cap market (64m)

I'm trying not to think about it until it actually happens. I know when it does it will finally hit me, and surely it will be a dark day. And the first game without him will be awful for us.

BUT, if there's one thing I've learned with this organization, don't ever expect anything until it actually happens, because it mostly never happens.

Too much from Boston, imo. And I really don't want Subban. Horton doesn't do much for a rebuilding/retooling Calgary either.

Morrow to Pitts pending him waving his no trade clause, looks like Pitt is out of the Iginla sweep stakes. I think he is going to the Bruins for sure now. Most likely hurts his return too.

Morrow for Morrow lol

 

[TheHudlinator]

Morrow for Morrow lol

What a fleecing, makes you wonder what Feaster was asking for Iggy in order for Pitts to make a move for Morrow instead especially at that price.

 

[Nordberg]

Morrow for Morrow lol

That's just bizarre unless Dallas has more going to Pit. Or maybe Pittsburgh wants to make up for earlier deals.
