I can't believe you even posted that!

I agree it would be a bad trade from CGY's perspective, but they would save cap space for next year and Komisarek could potentially regain his shutdown form with a fresh start but there is risk there.

Why would the Blues go for Brad Boyes and not any of the left shot Dmen on the list??????

The Blues have no need for wingers. They need left shooting Dmen and maybe a center.

Ek's rumors are bogus and irrational.

With the cap going down next year, few teams can absorb JBO's salary without sending some back.

TOR has considered JBO but not unless CGY takes Komisarek straight up or sweetens the pot for Liles.

- Hecklund

Cgy isn't sweetening the pot , j bo is the player bring sought after not healthy scratches .... If TO has serious interest maybe liles a high prospect and a first get it done

Feaster is shopping JBO hard. He is being told to reduce salary for next year. At that price nobody is going to bite. Feaster is going to be pressured into making a less than desirable deal for JBO and will ultimately take the fall down the line when Calgary fails to improve. Murray Edwards is becoming the second coming of Harold Ballard for this franchise.

Absolute trade rape for Boston. Iggy is worth more even as a rental. Then again Feaster seems to like being the bottom.

spooner's a future 1C. I wouldn't trade him with a first for 30 games of iggy

That looks more like speculation than a solid rumor to me.

On the other hand the Pens reporter said that the price is a top d prospect, a 1st and a roster player (which can mean different things). We'll see.

I think it's possible the price is especially high right now because the Flames haven't officially decided to trade him yet. This would be consistent with all reports about the market right now - the prices are insane because there simply isn't enough seperation between the playoff and non-playoff teams, points wise.

Flames fans have been drinking the koolaid if they think they'll get that. Iggy isn't rick nash, and look what CBJ got.

Feaster does not have to deal j bo just to get rid of him , if the offer doesn't help the team long term ( high prospects or picks ) j bo will remain a flame

If I'm Steve Tambellini I call Marc Bergevin and Jay Feaster and try to work out a three way trade.

EDM could get Subban for Yakupov straight up IF MTL can get JBO.

If I am Ray Shero I am on the horn with Feaster and Glen Sather and try to get either Marian Gaborik or Jarome Iginla. I also ask about Alex Tanguay, Ryan Whitney and Mark Streit.

Offensive Defensemen like Markov are easy to find. Some examples:

MA Bergeron
Mark Streit
Ryan Suter
Ryan Whitney
Fracous Beauchemin
Dion Phaneuf
Cody Franson
Mark Giordano
Sheldon Souray

Young, big, strong shutdown defensemen are at a premium right now. Marc Bergevin would make that trade in a heartbeat IF he was able to acquire Bouwmeester.

Subban would thrive in EDM without the spotlight of the MTL media. MTL would be better off without Subban's arrogance and showmanship.

dude with the penis reference in his avatar name ... your first comment was Flames fans think JBo is a god... your second comment was we hated Iggy in the first 20 games... give your head a shake... JBo's contract is brutal and its one most of the teams would have paid when he was a FA. THIS is the first year we have seen him play the way the contract is paying him...

Dude, he still scores at a more than 30 goal a year pace and has done so for 12 years. He is alsways one of the best conditioned guys if not the most conditioned at camp. If Iggy went to a cup contender, he would be an absolute beast. And if anyone touched Crosby, Iggy would pound them. Who in your top 6 is going to do that? Dupuis? Kunits? Doubtful. I'll say it right now, if PIT aquires Iginla, they win the cup!!

I could also say the same for BOS. So, who's going to get on top of that?

- TandA4Flames


i'm pretty late in replying to this but.... yes he is a great player, and on Sid's wing he would tear it up. But what would stop him from heading right back to Calgary after the season? and at 35 and turning 36 in july, he has only a few years left in him. No team is going to give up a good prospect, a 1st and a top 6 forward for him. Also for the "if anyone touched Crosby" statement, Dupuis and Kunitz aren't exactly push overs, Crosby is perfectly capable of sticking up for himself, and I'd prefer if Iggy was on the ice instead of the penalty box because he pounded someone for touching Crosby.

There's only one player in Boston's top six I wouldn't swap Iggy for and that's Seguin. Honestly a late first round pick and a top prospect who hasn't proved themselves doesn't get a player like Iginla. Calgary will want to fill in the roster spot with another top six.
- Hockey_Hoser


Watch hockey much???

Bergy won the slelke last year, he is considered one of the top three shut down two way forwards in the league, he leads the league in faceoffs and the team in points, etc.

Marchy leads the team in goals and is only in his third year of play and a top goal scorer. Great pk player along with bergy. He is a pain for the other team as well, which is a benefit for a team like the b's that love to get feisty.

Seguin future super star.

Krejic has had his consistency issues but is almost a point per game player this year along with bergy, sequin and marchy. Not to mention he led the team in point when we won the cup.

Horton is in the last year of his contract but is a better player and clutch compared to Lucic.

Lucic infuriates me, he has become lazy and doesn't grind or move his feet.

The only top six Calgary has a chance at are likely Horton and krejic, but Horton is a ufa after the season.
I doubt Peter has the balls to trade lucic.

But I said it before, lucic, spooner and ference for jbo and iggy with a conditional first or second if iggy signs with Boston and maybe Calgary taking on a mil and a half of jbo's contract.
