Price becomes a consideration too. I see Iginla as more of a low risk signing at a cheap contract. If Jagr's price tag is such that he would either carry dead money into next year or hamstring the team from making any other moves, then it's not apples to apples anymore.
And unrelated but the other part for me as a fan:
Iginla is chasing a Cup.
Jagr is chasing Howe.
I would rather see Iginla with the Cup.
