I still think Iginla finds a new contract. Best thing that happened to him was getting traded to LA.
If I am Pittsburgh, I would go out and sign Iginla. They got Reaves just to protect their players. Having Iginla on the 3rd or 4th line there with 2nd unit PP time would also help to fill that gap in.
If one were to believe Burke, Flames won't be looking at Iginla. I think he is an upgrade on Brouwer for his role, actually, though I concede a bounce-back season from Brouwer may erase it. Iginla's play is waning, without a doubt, and I can't imagine he has much more beyond a year left in the tank.
Some team will sign him. I am just not sure it will be a contender.
