I hope Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla sticks with Boston, maybe Kings or Ducks.

Exactly, he looked decent playing behind chara, Seidenberg, boychuk, ference, Hamilton last year but when Seidenberg went down he was a disaster in this years playoffs. He would have been crucified if he was traded here

I honestly do not see why Boston would want Iginla back. The lesson from the series is that size and toughness intimidate but speed kills.
They'll open up Iginla's roster spot for depth in the organization like spooner or they will upgrade their team speed with a Ufa.

They'd want him back because he played awesome for them and fit in well on the ice and in the locker room.
Iginla's speed was fine. They did not lose because he is too slow.

No, they lost because the whole team is too slow.
It's like other attributes - you can have smaller players if you surround them with size. You can have slower players on a team with speed. The Bruins are the slowest team in the NHL - therefore a terrible matchup against the Habs.
That said, you could play the series 5 times and Boston could win 4. The Rangers would have exposed them too though, imo

No they lost because Price stole a couple games.
Anyone who thinks that Boston didn't play well enough to win that series was watching with blinders on

The Bruins are so slow that they won the President's trophy with the best record in the league.
Price, Subban, posts and complete luck were why they lost. The first 5 games Montreal was completely dominated.

He will be back in Boston. They struggled to score goals, they aren't going to trade away their #1 goal scorer in the regular season AND playoffs. They'll trade Marchand and bring in a top 6 player to replace him. With a healthy Seidenberg they are still by far the best team in the east

Iginla is a UFA again though.

I thought he was considerably slower in the playoffs than in the regular season when they had him on the PK and was playing 18 mins a night. This may have to do with the rumour that he played with a high ankle sprain he sustained in the Rinaldo fight
