If you feel you can win the cup you increase your already great depth.

Sure, it never hurts to have more, but if I was Chicago I'd look at my roster, which has been dominating all season, and then I'd consider how much Iginla is going to add to that roster and weigh that against how much it would cost to add him.
In the end, I'd expect Iginla to help a bit, but cost a lot, and frankly, I wouldn't be convinced the roster I've already got couldn't run the table anyway. So I wouldn't make that trade. I'd be much more inclined to add cheaper, grittier depth that wouldn't make me sacrifice the team's future to any degree. It just doesn't seem necessary.
Of the bunch, I still think LA is the most likely trading partner, particularly if Morrow really has gone to Pittsburgh as rumored.
If I was Chicago, I might find Bouwmeester more attractive in principle given his compatibility with their high speed game. I imagine there'd be salary issues there though.
