I think the return is only for Iginla as a rental...and I think the return will be better than nothing (and him staying) but will be less than most Flames fan hope.

Answer: Conditional assets in the trade. We have seen multiple variations of conditional rental player trades that could include playoff success or re-signing conditions.
For example we could structure the trade like this:
To Boston:
Iginla
To Calgary:
2013 1st round pick
Spooner
2014 pick (1st round if Boston wins the cup, 3rd round if they make the conference finals)
2014 pick (2nd round if Boston re-signs Iginla, otherwise nothing)
Usually you only see one conditional item in a trade but the example makes the point.
