Olli Jokinen, a thirty goal scorer at the time and a 3rd round pick was good enough to snag Phoenix a 1st rounder, Brandon Prust who was a servicable 3rd or 4th liner at the time and a young 2nd line center who was 27 at the time who had had one 46 point season and was on pace for close to a 50 point season at the time of the trade. I would suspect that a similar package would be available for Iginla.
Ha.

Jarome Iginla 2013: 35-years old, 7 million cap hit, perimeter winger, on pace for 3 goals. (6 pro-rated if you like.)
Olli Jokinen 2009: 30-years old, 5.25 million cap hit, big physical center, on pace for 30 goals.

Yes, I'm sure they would bring a totally similar package.
