Panthers Land Jarome Iginla

It took about a month but Jarome Iginla is finally a Florida Panther. GM Dave Penney finally decided to up the ante to have the CPHL leading scorer on his team. With the addition of Iginla, the Panthers now have the 1st and 3rd highest goal scorers in the entir CPHL, making for a great dynamic duo that should give teams fits.

"Iginla is a team leader and a dominant force" said Penney. "After Milan Hejduk failed to step it up, we felt that we still needed a dominant force that every team in the league would have trouble shutting down. Today we feel that we have that player" said Penney.

After much line shuffling this season, it is expected that Iginla will see 1st line duties with Mike Modano. Miroslav Satan will stay on the 2nd line in the hopes that he can conintue his scoring ways.

"We gave up some quality guys to get Iginla but in the end we had the team depth to do this kind of a trade" said Penney.

"We fully expect that Mike VanRyn will be able to step up in the very near future and take over Timmonen's spot on the second line after his rerate" said Penney. "however, if Vanryn doesn't get the rerate he deserves, we could be in some trouble on the blueline".
