One thing I remember is that there was talk that Crosby phoned Iginla prior to the trade, which of course he denied.

“There’s some truth to that,” Iginla said, when MacLean asked if Crosby helped sway his decision. “I did hear that Sid — I didn’t talk to him before — but he’d put in a good word and I really enjoyed playing with him at the Olympics and getting the chance to meet him.

My feelings are the Iginla ship has sailed. Yeah I liked him while he was here but maybe there is a reason the Penguins washed out and the Bruins washed out and the Avalanche after winning their division without Iginla finished last with him.
I'd be very leery of re-introducing him to our team.
