I think that's the perspective that's needed in all this, or this site will come apart at the seems by Wednesday.
IMO option 1 is a complete disaster for the organization. If the minute hand is nearing 12 and no deal is done I would rather a late first round pick on it's own than option 1. We all knew that the team was never going to get the best value for Iginla waiting until he was 35 to trade him so it really shouldn't surprise fans if the return is not a homerun however you have to get something in hopes it helps the future and even if it's only a 1st round pick there's possibility of turning that into a future contributor for the organization.
