I hope Feaster has set the price high and I hope he sticks to it. It would suck to trade the best player this franchise has ever seen for 3-4 lottery tickets.

In 100 years, we're all dead. I hope to enjoy another Stanley cup before it's my time. Iginla's 30 goals and 70 points have zero value if they don't contribute to a cup, which they won't. We need at least a chance of finding the guy who will give those 30/70 in 5 years when it really matters. Keeping him for another 20 games, or even another year or two, just reduces the chance of getting that guy.
Retire his number to show the franchise's pride. Watch tapes of 2004 for nostalgia. But don't screw the future just based on nostalgia and pride.
