Exactly, and to go back to Flash's point earlier I don't know if waiting until the deadline is necessarily even the best approach. Last deadline Jokinen wouldn't waive and I don't think they were ready to move Iggy/Kipper yet, and we were in the midst of a significant amount of injuries, including a few to players that could have generated some interest from other teams. What we were left with was someone offering a 5th (?) for Jackman. Of course we probably should have taken it, but I would hate for us to get to the deadline this year and have Iginla tweak his back a week prior.
