dlbalr Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 What would we need to give up in order to secure Iginla? Tinordi + ? 1st round pick? I don't know if Colorado would value Tinordi that highly. (Maybe they do considering their terrible evaluation of defencemen...) Iginla has one year past this season on his contract though so it would be wise for Montreal to send a player that is under contract beyond this season and Tinordi isn't. I would imagine the 1st round pick would be required though. Send gilbert and a 2nd. Iginla would cost a lot more than that. (And since Gilbert's a UFA after this season, the Habs would be eating a full $5+ million on next year's cap without sending anything the other way to offset that amount.)

Commandant Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 He's done a great job producing on losing teams. He produced on Boston as well.... when they won the presidents trophy. Iginla produces... the quality of team is irrelevant. how helpful was he in helping the bruins and Pens advance??? He was the Bruins best player when we beat them in 7. The fact that the team didn't advance, doesn't mean he played badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iginla gets his points, but did he make the teams better? Nope. On the other hand, even though Jagr didn't score in the playoffs with the bruins, he did get 10 assists and every team he's been on, he's made the young players he's played with take a step forward.

Commandant Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thats such a bullshit argument.One player doesn't make a team win. If Tuukka Rask didn't turn into Red Light Racicot every time he sees a CH jersey... Iginla's team would have gotten "over the hump". Is he supposed to be able to control the other 20 players on the team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Commandant, what a terrible argument. Tsn comment section worthy even. To say a player like hall of fame worthy Jarome Iginla doesn't make a team better is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard. I award you zero points and may God have mercy on your soul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Patrick Marleau could be on the move according to Elliotte Friedman Further to this, he's so far only open to going to the Rangers, Ducks, and Kings. *sigh* Always the bridesmaid...

Dalhabs Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 For Iginla I say the contract going the other way has to be Eller. Overpayed and not producing. Of course we have to add to that. A first rounder and Tinordi is my guess at fair value. Eller, Tinordi, 1st for Iginla and a 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you notice, those three teams are next to impossible trade possibilities. Sharks trading Marleau to the Kings would be like the Canadiens trading Koivu to the Bruins. Ducks are not as much of a rival but are still a state rival. The New York Rangers have serious cap issues right now. Bob McKenzie theorized eventually Chicago (no cap space) and Nashville (a good possibility) could open up, but right now Marleau is making it difficult.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The issue with Iggy is not whether adding a productive veteran who fills the one glaring hole in our roster will 'help us.' Of course it will help us. The issue is whether he has the foot-speed to be able to click with the kind of style we play and the linemates he will be given. Being a good player doesn't automatically translate into being a good 'fit.' My guess is that a guy as savvy as Iggy will adapt, but you never know.

Being a good player doesn't automatically translate into being a good 'fit.' My guess is that a guy as savvy as Iggy will adapt, but you never know. Why are we acting like Lars Eller is fast? The last two or three Avalanche games, Iginla skated at the same speed as Eller. Galchenyuk is fast, but if we want to put players with Galchenyuk who can keep up with his speed, we might as well go: Pacioretty - Plekanec - Weise Fleischmann - Galchenyuk - Gallagher Eller - Desharnais - Smith-Pelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Eller is fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 But, but, but... He is only on pace for 25 goals, in basically a 3rd line defensive roll man, give up the Lars love dude, it don't wash 'round here! I don't think Iggy is all that slow either, guy can hit, fight and most of all score goals, but a 1rst, and a roster player as good as Eller, and a prospect for a 38 yr old? Too much for my blood...
