There is a high chance that the Flames are short 2 wingers at some point after the deadline. Right now it just so happens that Bouma returned when Versteeg went down. If another winger goes down who steps in? Right now it's Shinkaruk or Vey. I'd way rather have Iginla in the lineup during the playoffs than Shinkaruk or Vey.
What's the risk if he's acquired for next to nothing and GG doesn't put him in the lineup over guys who are performing?
