Now that Calgary fired Sutter the trade talk surrounding Iginla will start to heat up. I would love to see him in Boston, but he makes $7 million and has 2 years left after this year. Calgary will want something significant in return, not just a bunch of castaways teams don't want. Bruins would have to send salaries of 5-7 million back, depending on injuries and when the deal's made. I predict that after seeing what offers they get, he'll be staying put. -

There's about 11 teams that could afford him right now without moving money but are all small market teams. Typically these teams keep high picks like a child hangs onto a security blanket.
Plus as you mentioned 2 1/2 more years at 7Mil is a tough nut to swallow looks more like the last year of his contract he'll get moved unless Brian Burke has well another Brian Burke moment. -

Iggy as a rental would make us instant Cup favorites.

Ryder, Wheeler and our pic from Toronto? But would it be worth it, because Iginla WOULDNT stay here. Boston couldnt sign him to a long term contract unless they traded Savard for peanuts, which could be possible I guess. Hmmm....... -

Wonder if he has a No Trade Clause?
A change of scenery might give his game a shot in the arm. He's had a rough year thus far..... -

Full no movement clause but I'm quite sure he'd waive it at this point. -

Hard to compete with a team like the Kings who have the capspace & have guys like Jack Johnson, Johnathan Bernier, Wayne Simmonds, Thomas Hickey, Braden Schenn & draft picks they could dangle if they feel Iginla could put them over the top. Calgary could get a nice package from them.
If Iginla gets moved I think he will go to L.A. -

Not happening. I love him. But not happening.
We'd probably have to package Krejci, Colborne or Caron, and Ryder or Wheeler to get him.

Iginla is the type of player that would take the Bruins to the next level. A consistent scoring winger, something the Bruins haven't had in awhile.
But like most posters here point out, it would be nearly impossible to get him. Plus it would have to be a money for money type deal. Many teams could and would trump any talent package the B's could offer.
To get him IMO, the package would have to be Bergeron, Wheeler (to even out the money) plus a #1 pick for Iggy. -

Would rather trade for Parise for what you'd have to give up for him. But both I don't think will happen. Here's to hoping that Landeskog is in a B's uni next season. -
