According to multiple reports, the Bruins are one of a handful of teams in on acquiring the 35-year-old Iginla, whose 22 points this season would place him third on Boston, tied with Tyler Seguin. According to TSN, Iginla has submitted a list of four teams he would waive his no-movement clause for: Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston – the last four Stanley Cup winners, for what it’s worth.

Theoretically, that list is down to three with the Penguins acquiring Brendan Morrow from the Dallas Stars over the weekend after failing to come to an agreement with Calgary. Morrow is a guy that the Bruins were allegedly in on, but let’s be frank; aren’t you sort of glad he went to Pittsburgh, paving a less-crowded avenue for Iginla, a name that Bruins fans have been muttering since the beginning of this shortened season?

The cost? Uh, steep. According to The Globe and Mail, Calgary asked the Penguins for a top-four defense prospect, a draft pick, and a player off the team’s roster. The Penguins said, “No thanks.”

So, what does that mean for Boston? Translate that to what the Bruins can offer, and let’s just say it’s Torey Krug, a draft pick, and Rich Peverley. Do you make that trade? Yup.

However, the name that has been most bandied about when it comes to the theory of landing Iginla is Bruins goalie prospect Malcolm Subban, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2012. The 19-year-old Subban has star potential, like his brother in Montreal, but he remains a raw project between the pipes that is probably at least three years away. There is the percolating thought that the team is ready to wrap up a five-year deal for starting goalie Tuukka Rask in the near future, and despite Saturday night’s hiccup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, 26-year-old Anton Khudobin has thus far proven to be a steal by GM Peter Chiarelli.
