Confirmed with Link: PENGUINS LAND IGINLA! Trade Hanowski, Agostino, 2013 1st-rounder to Flames

[KIRK]

I believe you have to put him with Sid immediately. It's a no brainer.

Kunitz-Crosby-Iginla
Morrow/Bennett/Dupuis-Malkin-Neal

The other option is to move Kunitz back with Geno.

Iginla-Crosby-Dupuis
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal

I personally would mix it up a little. Sid with Iggy. Geno with Neal. Sutter with Cooke. Treat everything else as fluid. Duper could pop up L1 LW, L2 LW, L3 RW. Kunitz could pop up L1 LW or L2 LW. Morrow could pop up L2 LW or L3 RW. Bennett, if he dresses, could get a random shift at L2 LW or L3 RW.

Reading through some other Atlantic conference threads this morning is comedy gold. I'm absolutely drunk on all of the tears and hate.

This is the most positive I've ever seen this board. It's a good day based on that alone.

You and I are doing the same thing my friend. Productivity for the win!

^Add a third. I've been reading the Flyers, Rangers, and Bruins boards more than our own, haha.

 

[Shrimper]

Whoever it was that said I'd be happy this morning when I found out was right.

No team can handle Duper/Sid/Iggy and Kunitz/Malkin/Neal. That's truly a scenario where teams will have to sell out on Sid and likely still lose the battle while Malkin literally tears teams a new one.

All while having several options for Sutter. Morrow in a third line role is money.

 

[Xavier Laflamme*]

I remember watching last years all star game and seeing Iginla acting like a giddy little child watching Malkin and constantly looking at other teammates asking "did you see that?!?" Iggy has gotta be so stoked right now.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Holy crap woke up to quite awesome news! And damn that's a steal!! I feel like we gave up more for Morrow.

 

[bottompairingdman]

A Wild fan coming in peace.

Just wanted to congratulate you guys, Iggy is an incredible addition to your already stacked roster. A great deal for you, especially for the surprisingly low price you had to pay.

All in all, I wish you well for the playoffs (providing that we don't meet in the finals..) Win it for Iggy, m'kay?

 

[Greeneye]

xmas came early! wow @ that return. I hope Bennett stays in and Kennedy sits but I dont have my hopes up. So pumped to see this team in action!

 

[Ugene Magic]

3hr nap and all is right in the world because, Jarome Iginla wasn't a dream.

 

[Still Apps]

So, what's happenin' this morning guys? Anything new?


Just another Christmas morning as a six year old for me

lotta whining from the Cryers lol

funny we still have a much better prospect pool than they do LMAO

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

YES! I cheers for you guys and Iginla and not want to kick myself now.

So this was Shero's plan all along. Overpay for Morrow, so Feaster never see him coming. Genius.

 

[Syrinx]

Expanding on MurphyDump's post from the other day

Put the 2nd rounder into consideration: the Pens got Edmonton's 3rd rounder in the 2-Morrow trade, which is slated to be a high 3rd rounder; they gave up their 2nd rounder in the Murray trade, which may be a low 2nd rounder.

If you put both trades into the equation, we're essentially looking at this:

B Morrow + D Murray for J Morrow + a 5th + a conditional 2nd rounder

Brendan Morrow
Doug Murray
Jarome Iginla
(All three rentals)

For

Joe Morrow
Kenneth Agostino
Ben Hanowski
1st in 2013
Conditional 2nd (out in first two rounds or not signing Murray becomes 3rd)
5th



Shero's thinking "How do you like me now?"

 

[Ugene Magic]

You and I are doing the same thing my friend. Productivity for the win!

I have to go back and read where you found out. Joy.

 

[NewFang]

Sidney Crosby called this trade.

"Iggy" at 0:07

 

[NTP 3]

Got up early this morning to study and I didn't want to turn on my computer cause I assumed all I would see is Iggy traded to Boston crap. I figured I would look just to see what Boston traded for him and wow did I get a nice surprise.

 

[SteelFish87*]

Sidney Crosby called this trade.

"Iggy" at 0:07

wow I've seen that clip a hundred time and live and never noticed Sid calling Iggy for the pass. lol @ me

 

[Dying Alive]

Jeremy Jacobs is probably so depressed he can't even fight to keep middle class people out of his equestrian center right now.

The funny thing is.. .I went to bed just before 1am because TSN finally reported "Done Deal" to Boston. I have been talking to SS, who did an amazing job last night moderating everything, and couldn't believe I fell asleep 30 minutes before it all went down.

 

[IcedCapp]

So I've been thinking about it. I really think that Iggy chose to play with Sid over anything else, but if the Brenden Morrow trade had any effect on his thought process, I hate it less...

He only cares about money and doubt he even cares

 

[sauce66871]

If fans are this excited about waking up to Iggy on the Pens. I can't imagine what Crosby was like when he heard the news. Can it be said... Iggy could get Sid to another level?

Good ****ing point IC. I'm sure it did have a little to do with his decision
