Unless the return is really good (like a 1st round pick, top 6 forward AND a top prospect), I would be happy to keep Iginla until he retires even if it means it's the end of the line for that asset. Getting a run-of-the-mill top 6 forward that could leave as a free agent in a few years, or is easily obtainable through free agency, just isn't worth giving up a player that has meant this much to the team.
The only exception would be if Iginla indicates that he won't re-sign and will move anyway.
