If you get a decent return and he waives his trade clause the Flames should really consider this. The Flames are in retool mode and years away from contending. Our 2 best players are 35+ years (Iginla and Kipper). They have a few more good seasons but what happens after that if you don't have talent in the pipeline to replace?
Iginla can always return later in his career (hopefully with a Stanley Cup ring) and close out a season with the Flames. I'd hate to lose Iginla but the team comes first.
