I have zero concerns that he'd be a distraction and i'd love guys like Bennett, Tkachuk, Gaudreau and Monahan to learn how to be a pro year round from a first ballot hall of famer.
I'd be all for trading for Iginla. I think the price will be higher than people on here expect for all of the above reasons.

Bigger and tougher on the wings = Brouwer, Chaisson, Tkatchuk, Hathaway, also Ferland. Bouma is gritty. And Frolik is tough enough, in the strong forechecker sense. The only smallish wingers now are Gaudreau and Versteeg.
