Speculation: Iginla to E-town, I got a feeling...

[McPuritania]

Add more wood to the fire, Speedyturtle, our hidden informer who's called NUMEROUS Big trades in the Oilers last 8 years posted something was up today so there could be a big move coming to Edmonton. We shall see.

He also called the Nicholson/Chiarelli coup before it happened. Guy is legit. If he's talking, we should be listening.

Not that Iginla would be a big move or anything, but something's up.

 

[Homesick]

I'd buy that jersey!!!

So would I! It would drive Flames fans nuts down here

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

really? not sure they belong.

They have Bishop AND Quick they belong

 

[McSuper]

they can have them both, a 2 for 1 pre-deadline sale! -while quantities last-

And you can have 2 for 1 as well . Pouliot and Fayne coming back

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Is E-Town a real Edmonton nickname or did this just get made up?

 

[Pacman33]

Will you return the bag?

Deal but standard shipping. None of that next day mularky

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

someone hasn't watched many kings games this season

Quick AND Bishop they get in they can win

 

[RookiefantasyGM]

Only thing I don't like about the Oilers getting Iggy is I would actually cheer for the dam Oilers for the first and only time in my life! But sticking it to the Flames is even better!

I don't speak for the entire fan base obviously, but it wouldn't bother me. If Iggy feels Edmonton gives him a legitimate chance, I wouldn't blame him at all for taking it.

 

[CupofOil]

Iginla on his last leg going to EDM would hardly be a big move.

Exactly but he did say that it would be an "interesting" day so Iginla would qualify although really underwhelming if it does happen.

 

[theranfordflop]

Slepychev is sitting in the PB for EDM and is better than Iginla in just about every aspect of the game.
Kassian and Pakarinen are better as well.

My lord. Fellow Oilers fans... I know we're doing well. But let's get our heads out of the clouds.

Iginla isn't what he once was, but he's not worse than our AHL tweeners, which - while I love Pak, Khaira, Slepyshev a lot - is exactly what those guys are. They haven't even come close to establishing themselves as full time NHL'ers.

Yes.

 

[THall4]

oooh if its a big trade...could it be Barrie?

 

[Flamesjustwin]

Will never happen. He is not ruining his legacy to go to a team that has no shot at the SC.

LOL Who has a better shot in the West, San Jose okay yup give you that one but Edmonton is a legit top 3 team in the West and who knows what happens in the playoffs!

I hate to admit it because I hate all Alberta teams but the Oilers have arrived and we better get used to it because they will be a top team in the West for years to come.

Not recognising that is one of two things, either denial or Zero Hockey sense!

 

[Kreator]

At this point in time Iggy just mite be the worst forward in the NHL. The guy was done 3-4 years ago.

not even close, you can argue he kinda started his descent last year, but 3 years ago he scored 30 goals and the year before that he had a good playoffs with the pens. Recency bias at it's best.

 

[DasKaiser]

From what I have heard from an Av' s reporter on the radio Saturday, Iggy is done. Still can shoot, but can't get there to take it! Hope the Oilers don't get fleeced.

 

[JoemAvs]

oooh if its a big trade...could it be Barrie?

Well he isn't at the peak of his value right now. Probably better to hang on to him till next season when hopefully this dumpsterfire of a team is not as bad anymore...


Don't think the Oilers would want to pay the price needed for him tbh...


I think Colborne / Fayne or Soderberg / Pouliot are the more interesting options given Chiarellis history with both of them. Oilers probably would have to give a mid pick to make it work but that is something I could see happen...

oh come on, this is almost a deal breaker we need the bag back , u need to spring for next day ... are u really expecting us to carry the pucks in our arms ???

Yeah, going into the playoffs with the Oilers will ruin his legacy. Much better to stay with the legacy cementing Colorado Avalanche.
