There is no reasonable way this team does not trade both Iggy and Kipper if they're not in a playoff position come the deadline. Taking those two to the deadline in these years of their contracts is giving them and the team as many chances as possible to do something with them on the roster. If they're not in the playoffs there is nothing more to be gained from them on the ice foe the Flames. If they're going to be sentimental about those two they should at least do so by trading them to a team with a good chance.
If Iggy really wanted to stay he could always come back afterwards. If he doesn't then there is no loss in trading him. To keep him is simply ludicrous.
