Second choices: Montreal, Edmonton (grosse), Anaheim, Calgary, St. Louis, Ottawa, Nashville, Florida, and possibly LA.

Totally agree with this. I was all about bringing Iginla back earlier in the year but not anymore. I don't think it benefits either party.
The Flames are still very much a team without an identity IMO. They don't quite know what they are. I don't think anyone really does. The Iginla of now doesn't help them solve that problem and doesn't provide the offensive punch the team needs either. Iggy needs to go to a team that knows its capable of a deep run and could use him as added depth. Its just not a fit.
