If you don't want a low first-rounder, your position is try to sign Iginla and risk him walking for nothing even though he probably won't be part of the next Flames team.
I think it's a pretty good trade.

I don't think any rational person can be complaining about the low 1st round pick. The 1st round pick was always expected to be a part of any Iginla trade.
What is disappointing is the precieved lack of quality in the prospects coming back.
