Let's be serious, Calgary is not a SC contender yet, as much as it hurts me to say it. Unless by sheer luck we get to play Edmonton in the first round, there is very little chance Calgary can get past SJ or Anaheim in the first. So, what's the harm in having Iginla? Lots of good entertainment and excitement and no real downside. It goes without saying, Iginla should not fetch a high price at this stage. I also think Sakic will be understanding/cooperative in facilitating the trade on easy to digest conditions for the buyer.
Having said all of the above, I really don't believe Iginla would want to be traded to Calgary, even if there are no real SC contenders knocking on Sakic's door.
