I expect Iginla won't get traded (if he does) until April 1st or 2nd the earliest.

I really hope that the Flames can convince Iginla to add a couple of more teams to the list, because none of those 4 teams seems desperate enough to pay out the nose. Like you said, none of them "need" Iginla... they are all doing quite well as they are. That's not to say any of them wouldn't be happy with getting him, but why mortgage the future for it. It's not like any of those teams are looking at their shot this season.
Teams like Detroit, New Jersey, Ottawa, Toronto, NYR might have more initiative right now to make costly move for various reasons.
