Obviously this all comes down to where Iggy would want to go - I haven't read all 13 pages of this, so perhaps it has been discussed, but I imagine Iggy's short list would include some of the following:
Chicago
Anaheim
San Jose
Pittsburgh
Boston
St. Louis (assuming they become a playoff lock)
Los Angeles (assuming they become a playoff lock)
New Jersey
Carolina
Philadelphia (assuming they become a playoff lock)
Of those teams Philly is in cap jail, and SJ and Chicago don't have a ton of wiggle room, so some $$ would have to come back.
Agree/disagree with these teams?

I don't think Iggy's list would be much more than 5 teams. I agree with the bolded part as being the teams that would more than likely be on his list. If there was a 6th team added to that list it would probably be Vancouver. Feaster would never trade him to Vancouver, but it shows that if the list is 6 teams long that only one or 2 make good trading partners.
Anaheim has an internal budget and cash flow problem from what i have read. They are more than likely going to have to pick one of Geztlaf or Perry to retain. They don't have the money for both. Financially i doubt they could afford Iggy.
