Granted, Iginla is a notorious slow starter, but things aren't looking good for him so far.
Looking at the teams that have the cap space to take him, I think it comes down to the Blue Jackets and Islanders. The former looking to fill the loss of Nathan Horton, the latter - well Iginla is big ticket name for a team that has trouble attracting/keeping talent.

I had mentioned this during the summer threads on the Avs, but you really got to wonder how big of a loss Paul Statsney was to that team.
