Viewing the rumors from the Chicago point of view...

I don't see Iginla as a good fit in Chicago...Hossa and Kane are the RWs on the top two lines...barring catastrophic injury, there is no need to displace them. What Chicago needs is a #2 Center, Bolland is dismal on draws, and has never clicked with scoring at the NHL level, a third line center at this level, at best.

Moreover, if Feaster mentions Leddy or Saad, end of discussion. These two have far too big an upside for a rent-a-player, 'Hawks have 3 FAs that they must take a look at bringing back, Emery, Stalberg, and Bickell...Fitting Iginla under the cap doesn't seem likely to me.

Now if Feaster takes a look at Bickell, Stalberg, or Frolik plus a pick, then the issue is where would Iggy fit on the roster, and bringing Iggy to Chi might be contemplated by Bowman.

But I see the 'Hawks as the least likely destination from Iginla's alledged list.
