I think Kiprusoff is the guy who gets moved this year, while Iginla re-signs to be a mentor to the kids as his role continues to change. Contrary to popular opinion on CP, I think Iginla would actually make a great mentor with his preparation each season and class.
This year, I've also seen a marked improvement in his backcheck and have noticed him numerous times as the first forward back on the backcheck, which tells me he's being held accountable by Hartley.
I could see a 5 year deal to bring him to 40 and retirement, with an average of something just under 5, with a decreasing scale as the contract progresses.
