Even if Joker is comparable you can fast forward a year and a slumping Olli Jokinen in his contract year returned Ales "Moneypit" Kotalik and Chris "snakebit and soon to be a free agent" Higgins. I'm not saying that would be the return for Iggy (it'd be better then that) but the second Jokinen trade is closer to Iggy's circumstances (slumping and contract year) then the first Jokinen trade.

I think Iginla is worth alot more than people are giving him credit for. He has had a slow start, but it would not shock me at all if he was at 10 goals at the 30 game mark. I would not be surprised to see the Flames get a package like Bennett, Dumoulin and a 1st rounder from Pittsburgh for Iginla. He is the type of piece that could make Pittsburgh the instant favourites to come out of the East.
