But I don't think Iginla is going to be moved, I just don't think a cup is a priority for him at this point. I suppose that could work in the Flames' favour: if he's moved, he'll certainly come back to the community that he and his family call home a few months later, which is maybe the best outcome all around. But more likely he signs a sunset contract sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Because of Iginla's stature here I think you have to get a clear fantastic blue chipper AND a 1st.
But I'd be surprised if they dealt him.
