I am fine with the thread, CP needed a good news thread with all the dreary, depressing stuff out there.
Since when is losing the greatest player in the history of this franchise good news? I'm not saying this thread is wrong (it isn't) but losing Iginla is a depressing manner for a lot of our fans.

Kent Wilson knows this before any other local or national media? Not that I don't believe him I'm just curious how he got the information considering how quiet both parties have been.
I didn't know it, was merely re-tweeting the source.
I don't know why RDS would get wind of this first, but it seems like a reliable enough source to upgrade this to "legitimate rumor" status, if not quite fact.
On another front, I've heard whispers for the last 7-10 days that Iginla has indeed waived his NTC. Those were third and fourth hand info though so I didn't share them, but they line-up with this "news" today.
Iggy to Chicago for Jimmy Hayes, Kevin Hayes, 2013 1st
All Boston College line:
Gaudreau-Hayes-Arnold

Great choices Iggy, all legit cup contenders. All teams that I have no problem rooting for. Now who would you want from each team, within the realm of possibility.
Boston: Spooner or Khokhlachev + 1st. I don't want Subban and given Feaster's love affair with the USHL lately it could be Ferlin.
Pittsburgh: Pouliot's probably a pipe dream, but maybe Iggy + 3rd for Pouliot. Pitt is deep in terms of defines prospect depth, so it'll probably be Morrow or Maata.
LA: Toffoli, but we'd probably have to throw in a mid-late pick. Otherwise, Forbort or Pearson. I know Bernier was rumoured, but I can't see that happening.
Chicago: Last year I might've said Saad, not happening this year. Teravainen or McNeill + draft pick.

I do not want him to go to Chicago. I have a hard time cheering for that team, actually I won't, regardless. Their goal song grates on my nerves so much ever since they beat the Flames out of the playoffs the last time they made it in so, so very long ago. The other 3 I'm OK with this year. If Iginla is a King next year I'm sure I will hate them then.
