The top 15 pending UFA RW according to Capfriendly are
Radulov
Iginla
Burrows
Stafford
Gionta
Oshie
Jagr
Hemsky
Doan
Williams
Wingers
Purcell
Neil
Kassian
Parenteau
This is a rental we're talking about - a depth rental at that. Anyone on that list who is an appreciable upgrade on Iginla is not going to be available to the Flames.
His fancy stats are solid. I have to think the Avs in the situation they're in, aren't terribly inclined to feed a 39 year old pending FA minutes to get him going.
Versteeg-Monahan-Brouwer
Tkachuk--Backlund-Frolik
Gaudreau-Bennett-Iginla
Bouma-Stajan-Hathaway
Anyone seriously thinks Alex Chiasson at any age is better than a 39 year old Iginla?
