That makes me think maybe they are asking for a Saad, Bennett, or Tarasenko..... Guys they know they are NHL ready and not AHL/KHL bound.

Those teams are probably saying, we are trying to add not subtract.

So maybe Iginla will have to be packaged with a guy like Stempniak?

Iginla + Stempnaik < - > Bennett + Drumilon + 1st

Iginla to add to the roster, Stempniak to replace Bennett
Exactly. Ask for a blue-chipper, not a package of fringe guys. Kick in something if you need to make it happen. Iginla+ for blue chipper, not Iginla for prospect+.
