Then why on earth do you and others who (understandably) find it so disgusting keep re-posting it by adding it to each page that goes by?

Really?
Not to derail this...but he might be my favorite all around player in the game today. Does it all and does it well.
Any team in the league could use him.

I highly doubt St.Louis is available and if he is I only really see him waiving the no trade for Montreal (just a feeling that he would want to play there).
Asking price for Clowe appears to be a prospect and a 1st....not much cheaper for a guy with 0 goals.
Smyth is an option but does he really leave Edmonton again?
Booth is injured and has 2-Years at $4.5 million left and has been mentioned as a buyout candidate. Nobody will be lining up for him.
I think the only real comparable is Jagr...it kinda worries me that Boston will pick him up further limiting Iggy's market.

You are probably right I was just spit balling names off the top of my head.

I posted this yesterday but I don't like him as a player. Worse than Burrows IMO. I want the Flames to have no part of having a rat like him on this team. Add to the stories of his off ice shenanigans and it makes for a bad acquisition.

Especially a team that plays with basically no edge whatsoever.

Looking at the past dead line deals I have to rethink what we will get back.
We will be lucky to get a first rounder and a roster player back.
BUT....Gaustad last year got Buf a first, and Penner the year before that. Iginla is way more valuable than that so you would think the Flames can get more. It will all depend on the market.
If he goes to Boston, a guy like Spooner would be nice.

Or Bobby Carpenter of the Capitals. Got 53 goals in 84-85 and 27 the following season and then his totals plummet

My money is on Feaster not accepting any deals from the Bruins unless he gets close to his asking price. Ownership would have a say in this considering it's Iginla. Worst case sinerio is we can't get a decent offer for Iginla and we lose him for nothing in the off season.

That's my ideal package from Boston that doesn't include any of their current NHL regulars, and I don't think it's asking too much at all.
In fact, if the earlier rumors were true about Iggy wanting a "sign and trade" and the Bruins were to get a signed Jarome, I would want more if I were CGY.

I fail to see how getting something is worse than getting nothing.
Regardless of the return, if you know you aren't going to re-sign him, or he's made it clear to you that he has no desire to re-sign, then you get whatever the heck you can for him right now.
Anything else would be poor business.

Good business like trading Jokinen for Kotalik? Trading just for the sake of trading doesn't equal good business. I'd rather they let someone walk then take on a horrible player or contract.

I totally agree. From what I've heard there's not much of a chance he will resign here at all. It makes sense to set the bar high and get as much as possible, and if no one meets that price. Iggy still will be traded for something. Make no mistake about it, he's not walking for nothing. They will get something for him, i firmly believe that.

And he won't be traded for a bad contract. They will just lower there price, and maybe only get one prospect. That is better then nothing

Obviously.
What I mean is, if you are asking for two prospects and a 1st round pick, and the best you can manage is the pick, you take it. Take whomever offers the highest potential pick, and sign the deal.

Don't underestimate the importance of optics for managing a sports team.
Here's an extreme analogy.... Say you are at work and you are hungry but have nothing to eat. You go into the lunch room and see that someone dropped a piece of pizza cheese down on the floor, so you pick it up and eat it, because... something is better than nothing. How do you suppose your colleages will look at you after seeing that happen? Sure, one or two people might think it was ballsy, but most will not be impressed.
If Feaster gives in because "something is better than nothing", how do you think future dealings will go with his colleagues? They will know that if you hold out long enough, he'll fall for scraps. In some situations, when you consider long term image problems, nothing is preferrable. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but if the Iginla trade doesn't yield meaningful assets, I'd rather the Flames make a stand.
