You can trade his rights on draft day and get draft picks, roster player and/or conditional picks on re-signing. I would want picks over roster player.
If you trade him to a team like Philly or Wash, then the 2nd round pick is almost the same value as the 30th overall pick.
Keep in mind that signing Iggy will bring intangibles (way beyond the on-ice performance) to a market. Tickets sales, jersey sales and your team will have a very good opportunity to get on (stay on) the front pages of your sports section again. Iggy has the kind of character and story that sells newspapers and gets even casual fans excited for him.
