Iggy should either go to the Kings or stay with the Bruins. Getting a cup from any given team in the Playoffs is a crapshoot for any team really. Chances are right now, these are the teams to be on: LA Kings, SJ Sharks, Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins, Pittsburg Penguins. LA Kings are gonna win it this year again and probably next year maybe the Ducks and then the Kings again the year after. Pens only have a chance if Bylsma gets replace with a coach who can use more than just Malkin and Crosby.
Montreal Canadians, IMO, got lucky in the series with the Bruins with Price not getting injured in that series and the fact that the Bruins decided not to run those smaller Montreal players. Instead, most of the Bruins' big players let themselves get the run around.
Regardless of what people keep saying about Iggy's speed on the ice, if the guy can score 30+ goals for 12+ consecutive seasons, what more does he have to prove? Gaborik probably won't score more than 30 goals as a Bruin no matter how much faster he can skate as compared to Iggy. Gaborik's scoring now with the Kings is a product of their team play right now after they were down 3-0 in the series with the Sharks. Even Kopitar, Carter, and Richards are producing on that team when they haven't done much prior.
