[Cortez]

Feaster pulls trigger on the trade tonight so he doesn't have to talk about the ROR fiasco

Size means a lot in the NHL. It affects player value for a reason.

[StrykerSteve]

I really wanted size back in return for Iggy. I think that's what bugs me about using Boston as a trading partner, all their prospects are tiny.

[krynski]

screw the game. i'm off to sulk and be sad for the rest of the evening.

No disrespect to Rask but when Kipper was in his prime he treated us to some of the best goaltending the game of hockey has ever seen. I'm not sure many would deny that.

Our new GM. Which would be the most terrifying thing ever since every player Gretzky has ever been asked about is one of the best players he's ever seen.

[robertsfanatic]

and small players work out too, briere, st. louis, fleury...i'm in wait and see mode.

Hopefully by the end of the summer he will have a different "C" to his name, Stanley Cup winner

Kiprusoff was intended as a caveat. That's why I said "pretty much".

[Senator Clay Davis]

Iginla should try and fight Bourque if they meet in the playoffs.

Except Caron who isn't all that appealing. Feaster has only moved size out since he has taken over. Except for McGrattan which he actually stated "addressed the lack of toughness." Clueless.

Remind me the last time iggy started a season hot? How many ppg players are available at this trade deadline? 22points with ca tarts offensive skill is still solid. Not to mention captain, and can fight.

[ricosuave]

Lol at some of you complaining about a players size.

Probably the same who didn't want St. Louis released all those years ago

[charliemak]

Gretzky will be the keynote speaker at the 10th annual RDC Kings and Queens Scholarship Breakfast tomorrow

[bluejays]

If Craig Button can call this trade crap on national television, you know you're getting hosed. Great thanks to Iginla for his career years, and being a great ambassador of the sport.

[Kickazzflames]

Just feel sad right now, will most likely cry tomorrow during his goodbye.

If iggy is gone we had better dump the rest of our team as well. Butler, sarich, cammy, jaybo and do a rebuild.

I'm transitioning into my anger stage slowly.
