He's a pure rental. 2 years ago, he would've gotten some great prospects. Not today.
Frankly, I'm happier with the return for Iginla than I was with Phaneuf's return. I feel that with the contract situation and context of the trade, we got market value for Iggy.

the only reason this trade is better than Phaneuf's is because we don't know how it will turn out yet. we may get an awesome player with the pick, the two college kids may be a big surprise. with the Phaneuf return there were no unknowns, we knew exactly what was coming back and it was all hot garbage
