If Iggy was smart he would take a discount and just stay with Sid and the Pens. His chances for a cup there are just as good or better than any other team but the Sid factor should put the Pens as the front runner.

Exactly what I'm thinking. If Iggy truly wants a shot at the cup before he retires, he should stay put in Pittsburgh. The Pens won't be nearing a rebuild any time soon with the likes of Sid, Malkin, Letang and others on board. They may not have done it this year but their window is far from closed. Plus he can have a crack at a full season with the team and really figure out his niche on the team. He should take less and stay with the Pens.
