Unfortunately I think the ship has sailed on trading Iginla about 2 years ago. If he is to be traded, we'll probably get something similar to the Regehr trade from a few years ago. So probably a youngish third line roster player (think Horak) and a marginal prospect (think Breen, Byron, Reinhart). We are definitely not getting an elite prospect like Couturier, Schenn or a first rounder.
That's not to say I don't want him traded. He has been beyond useless this season and it's too bad to say, but I think trading Iggy would be addition by subtraction.
