Quick hit with more to come today, but sources are telling me there is a HUGE amount of interest in Dustin Byfuglien today and that we should also keep our eyes open for news on the Iginla front...

On Iginla...

I am amazed by how many people continue to tell me the Iginla situation is too complicated and he likely won't get moved because, "No one wants to be the bad guy here." I have now had 4 different people tell me something to this sort.

Hey, I am all for loyalty and if Iginla wants to end his career a Flame he can easily pull a Keith Tkachuk and come back next season, but this year....he should probably go for the win/win and try to win a Stanley Cup while helping the Flames build for the future.

Another source I have talked to said Jay Feaster is paying close attention to public opinion on this one...Flames fans? Do you think the team should move Iginla?


On Byfuglien...

The Flyers are definitely interested in Dustin, but so are the Red Wings, the Leafs, the Canes and the Canadiens... Dustin has a huge amount of upside and there is no denying the risk...but this is the kind of trade Winnipeg should make...in my opinion...while the market is so high...

MUCH more on the way.
