Well yeah because Iginla (suggestions of trading him really didn't come until he was in his 30's) and Kipper were both post apex players who are the type of players you move from in a rebuild. Kessel is in his prime and the reason the Flames moved Boumeester is the same reason the Leafs are trying to move Kessel. Guy isn't a leader or a player you can count on to carry a team. Not the type of player you want around in a rebuild.
