If we acquire him PLUS and a RW that actually solves our top 6 need, I'm all for it.
I like where we're at defensively, I have confidence Elliott can handle it down the stretch (but wouldn't be opposed to acquiring some insurance in that area) but we're brutal on the RW. Iggy may not be playing his best, but the marks on him are a little much. He can still keep up with game speed, his flaws are just a little more obvious than they were 5 years ago. He'd still be an improvement over what we currently have.
In short: Absolutely, as a way to improve the bottom six. But no if it, for any reason, stops us from filling our actual need of a top 6 RW.
