It would be about a thousand times worse than Iginla going to the Canucks. Hopefully it is just a negotiation ploy. It would be like Gretzky or Messier going to the Flames, or Lanny going to the Oilers in the 80s.
I don't think Iginla would actually have much of a problem siging as a free agent with the Canucks.

I used this comparison because the Flames & Canucks, like the Yanks & Sox, battled it out in the playoffs this year. How could you sign with a team you just went to war against? Like Commodore's quote where he wanted to tell the Canucks "I hate you" when they were shaking hands after their series(someone has the actual quote as their sig). To have a such a strong hatred for a team and then consider joining them just baffles me.
The Canucks and Flames history and rivalry doesn't compare to that of the Yankee's and BoSox however. I agree it would be far worse.
