In my opinion Flames would have needed to throw in future assets to be comparable value. Iggy + Backlund+ for Schenn or Iggy + 1st (Baertschi) for Schenn+

The bolded point is where we will have to agree to disagree. Iggy was a beast in the 10/11 season and with his 43 goal performance and long term pedigree as a leader, scorer, fighter/power forward he would have been very attractive to the Kings.
I think the deal would have looked something like Iggy, Tangs, Glencross for Schenn, Simmonds, Tuebert, 1st, 2nd. Those are the pieces LA parted with for Richards and Penner from the deadline 2011 into the summer that year. Both Glennie and Tangs were having good solid years and were pending UFA's. Iggy was having a beast year and locked up for 2 more beyond. Schenn had yet to dominate the world juniors when this speculation was at it's peak and Simmonds was not the player he turned out to be in Philly.
