What about Kadri + Gridin + Potter + Vegas 1st? That’s a massive offer. But if Iginla is the most untouchable piece in the Utah organization, that’s probably still not enough.

I do not think that Tij is realistic. There is too much significance wrapped around him as the first prospect of the Utah iteration of the franchise.
From the last time we poked around the Mammoth, it is likely more feasible to try and acquire Desnoyers than to get Iginla out of that franchise. But that would assume that you can convince them that Cooley and Iginla are their 1-2 centers and that Desnoyers won't be satisfied playing wing or #3C, which is reasonable considering many Cs selected in the top of the draft are not interested in being third line players or changing to wing.
Also, their top 6 is getting pretty overloaded:
Keller-Cooley-Peterka
Crouse-Schmaltz-Guenther
HM: But, Hayton
Then throw on Iginla and Desnoyers and there is still 1-2 more bodies than there is spots in the top 6 and that is assuming Schmaltz and Crouse walk over the next couple of seasons.
How close does Kadri (50% retained) + Andersson (with extension) get you to Desnoyers? I would throw in the Vegas 1st too, if needed, but that is starting to feel like a crazy offer considering what we think we could get back from those assets independently.
