Good section from Friedman:
They want good young players, whether at the NHL level or prospects. They are also looking for high draft picks. It is not an insignificant price. Reports out of Pittsburgh indicated the Penguins considered it too rich for them.
There are two factors conspiring against Calgary. One is the low number of teams currently part of the process. The other is that Iginla's had a certain comfort zone for a long time. He's been the Alpha Flame. How easily will he adapt to a new situation where he'll be asked to play differently?
More less in line with my points in another thread about how the limited amount of teams and issues with team chemistry would most likely reduce his trade value.
