Hes got an extra year on his contract while Iginla is just a 2 month rental. And it sounds like Iginla limited their options to a couple teams so they couldnt maximize his trade value on the market. - Rally_Shots
With a shrinking cap being a rental helps more than it hurts in this situation.
STL- cant take a +1 year contract guy cause they have 50 rfa's
as an example and im sure there are plenty others in the same boat.

I agree that hes a fringe 2nd liner at best. But I think he'd certainly bolster our depth on the 3rd line. Foligno doesn't hit as much as Ott, but is pretty comparable in almost every other area of the game. Ott makes $133K less and will make more on his next contract. - theblueandgold
Serious question, how many more 3rd liners do we need?

Iggy gave 3
Pommer gives 8 he wont trade subtract those form the rest and of the rest who would go for him? I bet that number is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 - hubie

Closer to 10. - dadeadhead
HOnestly, will darcy trade in confrence with him? that takes half the teams out
add say 3 teams from the west plus teams who cant afford him ill stick with 5
“@PatrickCaisse: Buffalo Sabres asked Jason Pominville to prepare a list of eight teams where he doesn't want to be traded. #NHLTradeDeadline” - PassionBucket16
If this is indeed true you would think the Sabres have a serious offer from a team before they asked Pominville right?
