Dupuis has been on Crosby's wing on and off for a long time now, as room mates, I'd say there is probably a reason for that: Crosby likes playing with Dupuis.
For me, it comes down to many teams would like to add Iginla, but none are willing to pay the premium that Calgary is asking for.

I felt this way, though after speaking to a few Pens fans, they all seem to feel Iginla would be a large upgrade over Dupuis, and Dupuis moving down to the 3rd line would improve the whole team.
