I agree, no chance he signs in Edmonton.
But Iginla lives in St. Albert in the off-season.

Iginla maintains his St. Albert roots with a house in the city and is a frequent visitor in the offseason.
“This really is my home. My wife and I met in junior high here. St. Albert is a big, big part of our lives. It’s a great community with lots of opportunities and it’s not like that everywhere. As you get older you definitely feel so fortunate for those opportunities. There was an outdoor rink in every neighbourhood and one that was always taken care of and flooded. All the different ball diamonds were also ready for us to play on,” he said. “St. Albert has been an amazing place to live and a lot of things still look great here.”

As for the Penguins, I wonder if they trade or buy out Fleury to make some room. Another guy they might move to free up cap space is Paul Martin.
