Iginla for Leivo and 4th 2017.

I don't think he would consider the leafs he wants a stanley cup more like a Pittsburgh or Capitals on the east or Chicago on the west. Also we don't have a 3rd this year im not sure we should give up our 4th as well

 

[Once]

Iggy wants and deserves a cup. So, essentially, this is irrelevant.

what team can afford him that is in contention? I think he'd want to go there, especially with babcock and come back to Canada.

 

[Fabs]

Why do the Leafs want him anyway?

Iginla for Leivo and 4th 2017.

A polite, but quick and firm no thanks to Iginla in Toronto.

 

[Super Cake]

Iginla has a nmc. He won't waive it for Toronto. He wants a cup.

And it would be quite stupid for Toronto to give up any assets for a rental such as Iginla.

 

[DJJones]

Why?

Anaheim or San Jose makes the most sense.

 

[jboknows]

Iginla for Leivo and 4th 2017.

This makes absolutely no sense for anyone.

Iginla wouldn't waive.

Toronto shouldn't be parting with young assets (Leivo will play for the next injured forward) and they should just keep the 4th.

With max retention, iginla's cap hit would be peanuts (less than 1 million)

I see Iggy going to SJ

This same thread was proposed less than a week ago. Most leafs fans hated it and see it as utterly pointless. I tend to agree with them we're in no position to trade younger assets for older ones.

No thanks from Toronto. Don't need him.

Let him go somewhere and try and win a cup.

I see Iggy going to SJ

I do also.

No chance this deal happens. Iggy, if traded, will probably go to the Sharks or the Habs.

 

[KGL]

And whose spot does he take on the RW? Marner, Nylander, or Brown? I'd rather keep those three in the top-9 on the RW.

Going to be totally honest here, with the way Iginla is playing right now, why does a contender give up assets and a roster spot for him? Nothing personal against Iggy, would love to see him get a cup....i just don't see what he contributes. I guess as a depth forward, but why give up assets for a depth forward?

He provides a shooting option on a second powerplay unit, also gives you a depth forward who will grind it out in the corners, not that it's hard to find one of those guys.

Again, i'd love to see him get a cup...and i hope the Avs can get an asset. It's just that i think most teams have a depth forward in the system, no need to trade assets.

It'll be like a 4th rounder, maybe a 3rd.

Not much for a guy that could get a few goals in the playoffs and play on the 3rd line.

When I look at a team like San Jose and see players like Sorensen/Haley playing on the 4th line who have zero playoff experience and don't play a heavy game(Sorensen) I could see an option of Iginla coming in and providing a playoff style of game with limited minutes.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Caps with substantial retention would be cool.

 

[bansheebeat]

As a fan of the Leafs: this makes no sense. He should go try and win a cup.

As a fan of the Sharks: they need to keep transitioning towards being a faster team. Iginla would have worked well on the Sharks 5 years ago but they shouldn't be making moves like this now.

 

[613Leafer]

Makes zero sense for the Leafs and even less for Iginla.

Sure he's aging and isn't producing like he has in the past. However, one short season ago he was a 20 goal scorer. Now he's getting ice time with John Mitchell and Blake Comeau on the worst team in hockey by far. Iginla absolutely has value on a third line of a contender, and could crack a second unit PP. He's a leader, good teammate, and is driven as this is probably his last chance. If the Leafs were legitimate contenders I would absolutely give up assets for Iginla.
