Iginla to the Sharks?

 

[Mach12]

Iginla to the Sharks?

Please no, he's finished. The team does not need someone like him.

The Avs will have to make it clear to Iggy that the GM is picking the team he's going to this time.

 

[HOPE]

i dont see any real contender going after him...

 

[Wintersun]

Yes, please take him for free.

 

[Szechwan]

Send him back to CGY and let him retire with dignity. Cant see any other team giving up anything of value for him.

 

[Backlund]

The Avs will have to make it clear to Iggy that the GM is picking the team he's going to this time.

Unless the Avs GM is an idiot like Feaster, I doubt that will be an issue.

 

[Big Ed]

Ken Holland's gonna give a first + good prospect.

 

[Freudian]

As an Avs fan I'd be ok with Iginla for future considerations.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Do it Sakic, do it now. If a team is willing to take on Iginla just give him to that team. He had a great career but the past two seasons have been a wreck. Let us use his spot on someone that intends to play hockey. This will help our PP so much.

 

[DropIt]

wont happen until the deadline for cap reasons.

I, for one think he can still hit that next gear if the games mean something but playing in Colorado must be flat out demoralizing

 

[Some Other Flame]

The Avs will have to make it clear to Iggy that the GM is picking the team he's going to this time.

Except he has a full NMC, so no, not really.

It shouldn't be a problem anyway. Sakic may not be a great GM but he's nowhere near as dumb as Feaster.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

i could see him in la kopitars rw right now is trevor lewis However not sure how we would fit him in

 

[Beansy*]

Man what is with the Avs? Every year it's the same thing. Loads of young talent, all kinds of promise and then a massive fail. You have to wonder if it might be time for wholesale top to bottom changes there. From Sakic on down.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Low value vet on his swan song tour with history with Sutter...we know where this story is going!

only issue i have is for what at 50%

He's the definition of "hanging on too long".

 

[Hawksfan2828]

As a Hawks fan I would take a flyer on him for a 3rd round pick.

I think he could fill a bottom 6 role pretty well and score a timely goal or two.

It would be a good move.

Only problem is his cap hit @5 per, it would have to be around the TDL for it to make sense. Well, unless the Avs would be willing to retain.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I think a lot of Flames fans (understandably) wont want to bring him back. Selfishly, i'd love to see them bring him back.

L.A. makes a lot of sense though. Please just don't trade him to Edmonton

 

[Major Happy*]

Come back to Calgary!

 

[KingCanadain1976]

wonders if a 3rd and setogushi would be enough?

 

[BlueDream]

So the point of going to Colorado in the first place was...?

 

[Major Happy*]

So the point of going to Colorado in the first place was...?

Stability for his family and he thought the Avalanche had a good shot at the Cup given their good young players.

 

[AslanRH]

Retaining shouldn't be an issue this season.

Taking on a 2 year contract dump is an alternate option to enhance Iginla's value
