If anything it's more an addition by subtraction move. The organization needs to turn a new leaf, can't do that with Iginla still on the roster.

Iggy is my favourite player in the NHL and even i can tell that if they only trade him for a young 2nd line player they will be better off in the long run. That young player in 2 years will bring more to the team than Iggy will be able to. In 2 years Tanguay will probably have more value than Iggy.
The worst part if they keep him will more than likely be the contract that he is given. I dont have a hard time seeing him get a 4 year $24 million or a 5 year $25 million contract. Those last couple of years of him earning $5-$6 million will really erk fans. He will have no chance of playing up to that money. He will be untradeable to other teams even if he wants a chance to go win a cup with another team.
