He convincingly explains why Pittsburgh isn't likely at all (why break up the best line in hockey, or move Neal off Malkin's wing?), why Chicago isn't either (would Iginla want to move to left wing?), and why LA won't overpay (they don't need to).
I'm guessing 50% Iginla doesn't get moved, 40% he gets moved for far less than fans expect (and Feaster is burned in effigy), 10% the Flames get their 1st, one high-end prospect, and one second-tier prospect. |
I have been thinking the same thing that Johnson is pretty much trying to say, Boston is the only team that really needs Iggy and Feaster is not going to win a "trade match" against Chiarelli.
I say 98% chance Iggy gets moved and 99% chance its for less than flames fans think.
If they don't move him, they get nothing. Iggy is not putting his Stanley Cup dreams into the 2013 season only. Iggy is smart enough to realise no matter what the flames do, they will not be back in the playoffs next year or maybe even the year after. Hence why he never let his agent even negotiate a new contract with the flames.
