Are The Boston Bruins And Jarome Iginla Still A Good Fit For Each Other?

He isn't even on a bad contract, it is a market level deal for a 50-60 point producer who is also an elite level agitator. I hate him as a player, but he is a player that 29 other teams in the league would want and would offer significantly more than crap to get.

Agreed I am saying Marchand + any bad contract or big contract. Kelly, McQuaid, Boychuck whomever the B's wanna deal the flames could send very little cap back and some young cheap talent that fit the B's mode.

At the end if the day I am hopeful the flames are able to pull more Smid like deals where they get the best player simply because they have the cap space to make it happen. Boston, Philly, Washington are all teams I would gladly deal with if they are looking to dump money

Yes, I also wish more teams were incomprehensible inept like the Oilers, but sadly, very few teams are willing to throw NHL talent away for magic beans.

According to reports all over the place, Marchand is not being traded. Bruins HF board is saying it's a 2 year deal for Iggy, and an unreliable source has said his kids are already signed up for school in the area, for next year.

Then they have to move Boychuk and Kelly or something. They can't keep all of their players.

Just keeping Marchand's value up...
