This is essentially the Kaberle return.
It's Jarome frickin' Iginla for Christ's sake.
The media's whining is unbearable. Some think the Flames should include Gaudreau in the trade to Boston. That's right, give up your best player and best amateur prospect in the same deal.

I think the catch is some of the names of those "good prospects" that have been floating around (ie: Malcolm Subban).
From the other perspective, that team is potentially trading away a prospect who could turn into a player with the same impact that Iginla's had here for almost 2 decades... and there's a chance that Iginla's only with you for 1 playoff run when you give that up.
Not saying I don't think it's what the Flames should be asking for, but that's the other side of the coin.
I definitely don't think they consider shipping out one of their own top prospects just to get a deal done. As a worst case they should be able to trade Iginla by himself for a late 1st and a decent prospect. And vs. the alternative of him walking for nothing July 1, you do that IMO.
