I think the most likely scenario is that they just keep him. But if a team wanted him they would have to give up something reasonable to get him. Not the moon perhaps. But they would likely have to take back salary and give up a decent prospect. At the least.
And again, I am not suggesting the Flames should. I just think this is something Feaster might be considering. You get a top 6C and you get to tell Iginla he has Lecavalier and Tanguay as line-mates for the forseeable future. Meaning you get to ink him (or at least you hope).

I mostly agree with everything you've said here. The only reason Lecavalier was brought up was due to the Feaster connection and that Vinik doesn't have deep pockets for a team that lost more than 13 million last year. So IF they actually do want to move Vinny they would definitely take back a contract like Cammalleri's since his ends after next season as opposed to after the 2018/19 season. And since that contract is a bit of an albatross, if they don't want to retain some salary, they have to through in something to make it worthwhile.
