Funny how old men Iginla and Alfredsson (even Elias) cashed in today because they signed short term deals. Really wish the Flames would do the same just to trade the players at the deadline.
If the Flames offered someone like Jagr 5 million on a one year contract you'd have to think he'd snap at it (he has gambling debts to pay off!). Then trade him at the deadline for a pick, just like Nieuwendyk did last year with the Stars. He basically got a first rounder from Boston for paying Jagr for 30 games, pretty smart move even if it wasn't his main intention.
