If they could trade Iginla for a blue chip prosect straight up ( Brayden Schenn) , they could trade the other 2 for 1sts and prospects. They don't need to trade all of them for picks and mid prospects.
Cammalleri for a 1st and a prospect? This is a guy most Flames fans want in the press box who comes with a $7 million price tag. He only returned Rene Bourque a year ago, I don't see what he's done since then to drastically inflate his value.

Teams aren't going to be throwing around 1st round picks or grade A prospects like they're candy. In the last 4 trade deadlines there have been only three 1st round picks moved and virtually no good prospects have been traded for rentals. Iginla will return some good assets but those other guys aren't going to bring a ton back in return. Collectively they could bring in a decent quantity of assets, but any thoughts of 4+ 1st round picks is just dreaming.
