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?

Repeal Obamacare, replace with.... Something better. What's something better?
