With that said I would welcome a deal where the Flames can nab a 1st round pick and a quality D prospect. I still think a team like the penguins are a suitor for Iginla. All he has to do is basically be a Brett Hull type player - get open and unleash his shot. Crosby/Malkin will do all the work and create the chances for Iginla. The penguins have enough D depth to make a deal happen.

I doubt any GM is going to give up a 1st and a decent prospect for Iginla, he is to old to be seen as anything more than a one season rental and the league has changed, picks and prospects have become too valuable.
A low first or a second at this stage, try to imagine what the Flames would give up to get Ryan Smith, would anyone think giving up a first and a decent young player would make sense.
