Probably neither. Like Gionta, these guys are banking on playing in the Olympics over playing for a few hundred thousand dollars.

 

[Ser Grogu]

but why

 

[sansabri]

Most likely neither.

 

[Skobel24]

This isn't really speculation.

Regardless, neither. Why would either team sign him? He's not an upgrade for either team. If Arizona wanted a slow bottom 6 RW, they'd have kept Doan. Doubt Iginla would move that far from his family. As for Montreal, they don't need him either.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Iginla would probably sign on as a role player for a contender.

Does Arizona or Montreal fit that description?

 

[Never]

Would've much rather had a slow Iginla at $1M than Hemsky.

 

[Skobel24]

Would've much rather had a slow Iginla at $1M than Hemsky.

If they had signed Iginla instead of Hemsky, you'd probably be saying the opposite right now. Hemsky at least has some talent left. Iginla is just mass.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Neither, he doesn't fix the situation on either team.

Hemsky's been a trainwreck so far, and now he's hurt (surprise surprise). Hard to imagine Iginla being worse.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Hopefully Montreal. Would hurt to see Iggy play for Arizona.

You'd be surprised.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Iginla (kings version) would still be useful as a bottom 6 forward with PP production on any young team looking for veteran leadership and experience in aims of winning the cup. I'm sure he realizes by now that he's not that good as he used to be and settle for very cheap short term, if he wants to win.

I don't think Iggy wants to play for peanuts to lose every night, he would rather play for Team Canada at the Olympics...

 

[Jormungandr]

Phoenix?

 

[CraigsList]

At this point neither, better off waiting 3 months for the Olympics.

 

[FerrisRox]

Phoenix?

Maybe he will sign with the St. Paul Wild.

 

[SB84]

He'd be a good anchor to ensure a run at Dahlin

neither of these players can play anymore both are bad

 

[MisterNoItAll]

He won't help either team, and he's finished. Better to give a young player his spot. Might as well develop your prospect pool.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Oilers are in the mix

 

[Bizz]

Iginla is cooked past the point of 'Well Done'. He should've hanged them up 3 years ago.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Neither Why? Would Iginla want to play for two bottom feeding teams going absolutely nowhere. He will want to go to a contending team and right now Arizona or Montreal are neither.

 

[Skobel24]

Iginla is cooked past the point of 'Well Done'. He should've hanged them up 3 years ago.

He's done, but saying he should have retired 3 years ago is either ignorant or just an exaggeration. He was a 6 point guy 3 years ago. He still got 20+ goals and 47 points the year after. Last season was the year his play really dipped.

 

[JuniorNelson]

Iginla should player/coach like Keane, in the AHL.
