Iginla Destination Discussion

[Reggie Dunlop]

Iginla's family is based around the Boston area now, aren't they? The kids are enrolled in elite hockey academies.

If he's going anywhere, it's more likely in the east.

I have nothing to support it just my take on Iginla's character, but I think he doesn't want to come back out of respect for Gio. He knows it would be a huge distraction and media and fans might bypass Gio and go to Iggy as "the Captain".

Think of the whole Messier/Linden thing with the Canucks.

Haha not quite that sketchy, I was blessed to travel with the Flames in California and stayed at the same hotel as them. Had some interesting discussions with some media guys and some members of flames employees. Rather not mention names in public forum but would share some details to make my comments more credible.

Ha.
No soap opera stuff here, good people.
No bad blood.
No noble cause.
Everyone has simply moved on.

Burke and Tre have alluded or stated repeatedly during season ticket holder meetings whenever someone brings it up.

His jersey sales alone would pay for his salary here.

Bring Jarome Home. Let's win a Cup.

I think you're mistaken, that law passes next Canada day.

I'll show myself out

They might have had the flames opted to actually change the jersey design, most people who wanted one already own an Iggy jersey with flags on the shoulders

Easy Debbie. That's a downward call.

Wasted all day waiting for "Iginla signing with Flames", leaving disappointed.

4 hours? Hopefully the nation celebrates a milestone or something else comes up with activities planned to salvage your day

If Iggy signed for $1M, at $200 each it would take 5000 people buying new Iggy jerseys to make up that money. And that's not including material costs. I actually don't mind the idea of the flames bringing him back, I just disagreed with the OP's comment given the fact that the "new" jerseys look almost identical to the ones worn when Iggy left.

Cross the Kings off the list...

The door has closed on Jarome, per Blake. Thanks to @helenenothelen for getting that info, on the followup question!

No Cammalleri reunion in the cards.

I want to see the flames bring him back but I could see him going to Vegas. He'd be a name that would sell jerseys to a new fan base.

I agree with your math. I think 5000 sweaters would sell though.

[カナダ人です]

Iginla oozes character and is a team guy and leader through-and-through. I think he'd be great in Calgary in a bottom 6 role.

Also could be a good role model for Tkachuk...

I'll just leave this here:

Merchandizing revenue in the league is split 31 ways.

Iggy is gonna sign with the Flames. One day retirement contact and then 12 hits the rafters.

I honestly think that's what is gonna happen this offseason
