I don't see them as contenders because I still see: Anaheim, Chicago, St. Louis, Kings & San Jose ahead of them, and that's only 1 conference. Sure they can upset in the regular season, but I don't see them doing any serious damage in the playoffs. I must admit this 3 year contract might be a good deal for Iginla, because they have 3 seasons to upgrade that awesome young core. But who knows, they might be contenders next season (not the upcoming one), because I can see it as an interesting market with those players.
