[Rumour] Iginla Trade Talk: Iginla scratched from CGY Vs. COL

[bigtmac19]

I've watched KoKo in Windsor since he came. I like him and would be happy to see him in Calgary. Great vision great passing great speed

FWIW, multiple sources say Iginla to BOS "not done." Is that semantics, as in "not (yet) done?" Or does "not done" actually mean "not done"?

I don't know what makes me feel more ill, the end of the Iggy era or the crap and negativity some of the posters in this thread or spewing without even knowing what in the hell they are talking about. I swear some of the posters are happy only when they can find something to bitch about.

Koko

NHL Central Scouting’s Chris Edwards
“He’ll take a hit to make a play and he’s not at all afraid. I’ve seen him get hit hard a few times and he just bounces right back into the play. His energy level is always there, and he’s always working hard. Down the stretch for Windsor, he’s played well. He’s a skilled forward.”
In The Hockey News, one scout compared KoKo’s skills to Marc Savard, but with more physicality.
ISS ranked him No. 19, while CSS had him at 29.

I also read he's poor defensively.

Was waiting for our resident Spits fan to chime in.

1st + Khokhlachev > Bernier

But again, never been a fan.

Was waiting for you to post your views. Thanks for your insights

If it was a 1st, Koko, and Spooner, I'd be more okay with this, but I'm still going to cry.

As many have said, the only consolation for this trade is that it means a defenceman will be moved.

With Lebrun saying that the Blue's are practically begging for Bouwmeester, management would be stupid not to act.

He can definately keep up with top prospects

Lets hope so

The worst part about the first round puck is that it could be only 4 spots ahead of Calgary's second rounder that Montreal holds.

That's the one joke here, sir.

Out of thanks, so thanks!

JW does seem to know the Bruins organization well, having great success as their Director of College Scouting--a role he occupied when Bartkowski was playing at Ohio State.

It is pretty much what I was expecting, but then I started to listen to some of the people around here and it got my hopes up.

I hate it when people give me hope.

[really?]

A week ago Bruins fans were posting that the Russian was their top prospect and they wouldn't give him up for a rental. Now reading that having surrendered him, a first and a third pairing D man they ripped us off. Think they issue crayons with their books in Boston classrooms. Return seems reasonable.

Now let's hope Jarome Iginla has his name engraved on the cup this summer. He deserves it. Tremendous hockey player, better human being. Here's to Iggy!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
