As for the topic at hand, I'm in the Iggy for life camp personally.
If he does need to be traded though, it better be for a good return. And they better move everyone else of value too. Get as many 1st and 2nd round picks for this year's draft as possible. Supplement that with young NHLers and good prospects. Also, not to be underestimated in my opinion, the Flames are a team that can take back other teams problem contracts.
A combo of Iggy, Bouwmeester, Kipper or Cammy plus us taking back bad contracts should equal some really nice pieces from contending teams. Lesser pieces like Sarich, Smith, Jackman and Stepniak should also get us something decent at the deadline. Especially this year when there could be less teams selling than usual, since more teams should be in striking distance of the playoffs.
