The Iginla trade to Pittsburgh

[Jumptheshark]

I just remember getting blocked on twitter by a certain sportsnet talking head who broke the story Iggy was traded to Boston that night

Iggy tied the Flames hands. It looks bad on him. And we shall see what impact that has on him possibly getting his jersey retired.

Are you even serious????

I believe Iginla really wanted to stay in Calgary.

He went on record saying he didn't want to stick around for a rebuild in Calgary

With yesterday's trade (Klimchuk to Toronto & Nielsen to Calgary), the Flames practically got nothing in return for one of their franchise legends. Nothing is left from the initial deal... Kinda sad :/

Indeed. He sold his house in Calgary damned near immediately after the trade. He had (has?) no intention of returning.

One has to ponder - If Iggy went to Boston in 2013, the Bruins don't sign Jagr and could have beaten Chicago in the SCF

Iggy then signs a one year deal with Boston with benchmark bonuses and the Bruins looked like the team to beat, but Montreal was in their heads.

Overlooked - If Iggy had come to Boston and they won the Cup in 2013 they most likely don't move Seguin.
