Tell Iginla the team is going to rebuild around younger players. Start trading away the vets. Iginla would get the message and agree to be traded.
The delay in the rebuild wasn't because Iginla wouldn't agree to move. The delay was because Edwards and King were stuck on the idea of making Iginla happy and trying to build a playoff team around him, and lost sight of overall direction of the team.
