Who do you realistically see trading for Kiprusoff at the deadline? When I look at the standings I don't really see a western conference team that needs to trade for him. You could make arguments for San Jose or Detroit, but do they need him enough to give up a 1st and a prospect? I don't think they do at his age. Most have established #1s and even the tandems like St. Louis aren't going to want a goalie of Kipper's age. In the east you've basically got Toronto. Maybe Carolina (how long is Ward out for?) but that's it.
I also think Tanguay is overvalued and a lot of the prospects you get back (say in a Giordano or Stempniak trade) are going to be career AHL type (if that) prospects. Even in Iginla's case a team is likely not going to part with a true high end prospect for a rental player.
