The AVS would have to retain salary for any trade involving Iginla, which shouldn't be an issue because he's an expiring contract.
Iginla would have about 1.4 million remaining in salary at the deadline, so with 50% retention, a team only needs 700K in cap space to acquire him. Chances are Iginla would only want to go to a power house, not an underdog like the Flames, even if we're in a playoff spot come late February.
