As much as I want to see him get a cup, its gonna be tough for Iginla to demand both money and a rosterar old spot on a contending team. Another year older, on what seemed like a real decline year for Iginla... he used to play like a bull, but he looks below average physically right now; he used to play best when his feet were moving and he was using his speed, but he seems to have lost that advantage; even his shot doesn't look as deadly any more. Meanwhile, he does have warts in his game. Really, all those years of carrying the Flames on his back took a toll on his body, and while he could get away with deficiencies in his game before, they are now being exploited. I'm not sure he fits in for teams around the league now, especially ones who want to resign younger guy who already fill that role and better.

My guess is he stays in Pittsburg and Pittsburg gives him a 2nd shot at a basement bargain salary. 2nd guess in SJ...o/w I'm not sure a contender has room for Iginla on their roster and salary cap.
