Honestly, if the return isn't good enough, don't deal him unless you are pretty sure he won't re-sign in the offseason. The idea of trading your franchise player is to get a potential franchise player in return. A late first round pick, and a couple "maybe" prospects aren't worth it, IMO. Obviously you don't want to lose him for nothing, but it's not like Iginla has no motivation to return to the Flames. His entire life is here.
