The Calgary Flames have made a decision on Jarome Iginla and will call a news conference early next week to announce their plans moving forward.
“We determined internally the first day of camp we’re going to address that right off the hop and ask Jarome to do the same,” said Flames GM Jay Feaster of his captain who has just one year left on his five-year, US$35-million contract.
“We want to make sure everybody (in the media) is there, address it all at that time, and then neither party will talk about it again. Will that stop questions in Detroit and Colorado about it? No, but in saying that, it gives Jarome the ability to say he’s sorry but he already addressed it and won’t talk about it.”

Unless Feaster is coming out and saying that Iggy has signed an extension this news conference will mean nothing. It will not stop reporters asking Iggy what his plans are for the future. They will still ask the question in 20 different variations.
I wonder if Feaster says something to the effect that they will not trade him at the deadline under any circumstance? I really hope not. I have said it before and i will say it again, if he has not re-signed by the deadline they have to look at trading him.
