on the eve of Christmas eve, the Calgary Flames may well have made a deal that will come back to haunt them.
The player who has never been traded before has been traded today!!
Jarome Iginla is heading to the sunshine state to wear similar colours but definately a different uniform.
"This is the hardest deal that I have ever had to make. Even when I was the Devils GM, trading Brodeur to chicago at that time was tough. But trading the Flames Captain, the superstar of the CPHL and NHL was an extremely difficult decision to make. No so much as because he is an excellent hockey player, but because Iggy is the heart and soul of the Flames whether its here or in the NHL." Axmann was quoted as saying.

If you can all recall the trade that sent Gretzky to LA in the NHL..I feel like Wiener did as he was sitting at the table. I have a tissue in hand and this one really hurts.

going to florida is
Jarome Iginla and Martin Biron...

coming to calgary,
Jeff Oneill, Richard Zednick and Kimmo Timonen, a first round pick plus .38M in cash.

I need to get some depth and spread the scoring around, thats what this team needed. Iggy was doing it all and well I need to switch that up.
I think we have one of the best d's in the league and I hope a good re rate of Kipper is forthcoming. I cant seem to get a goalie to play more than one game without getting hurt.

anyhow, there you have it..Iggy is a Panther...gawed it hurts to say it.
I await your thoughts.
thanks to Grant for his insights.
