As it stands now, due to the cap situation of Boston and structure of his contract, Iginla's contract this year is going to roughly cost 3.5M this year, and possibly 2.5M next year. Signing him to a 1 year 1M contract next year would be near equivalent of signing him to a 7M/2 year contract.

However, they could keep doing a deferred cap-hit 1year 35+ contract with Iginla like this one :P
Isn't the Op suggesting just the base 1.8M will count against the cap this year? Where do the 3.5 and 2.5 numbers come from?
