John Toperzer: Might the Pens trade for Jarome Iginla & who would go? The NHL trade deadline is only 25 days away. Do you know where your top prospects are?

Iginla for Martin, Kennedy and Morrow

You gotta think Feaster would be able to get a more attractive package than that for Iginla, but if the rumours are true, Iginla's NTC will greatly tie his hands as to where he can deal him.

That being said, if Feaster does decide to deal Iginla, rest assured he better get a king's ransom or Flames fans will burn down the city (no pun intended.)

lol what a joke trade

Not for nothing but that deal is fair from the Calgary standpoint. Top 4 d man, top 9 forward, and the organizations top prospect. What more could you ask for? This isnt a 30 year old Iginla.

Personally I don't think an Iginla trade is wise for the Penguins because I would not feel comfortable giving up a piece like Morrow. Morrow and Despres are our saftey net for if Letang prices himself out of town with his new deal. Not worth parting with those rookie contracts and potential for a 35 year old forward who carries a stiff cap hit.

Our major parts of our roster don't need tinkering if they are healthy. Size in the bottom 6 is our need at the present moment. Iginla while a great player, does not really make sense from a cost standpoint in both the assets we would have to give up and the cap hit, just my opinion.

What flames want is more than I would be willing to part with....shero has said morrow is not going to be traded.....like iggy but too stiff of a price to pay. I don't see iggy moving this year

"He's not afraid to make a bold move like Iginla for Martin, Kennedy and Morrow"

Not going to happen.

Martin has a NTC anyways, no offense to Flame fans but I doubt he would want to waive it to go out there.

If Iginla was dealt it would be for a Kings ransom and quite a few teams would offer a heck of alot.

So if this became a bidding war you can guarantee that one of Neal or Staal will be dealt.

I'm more than willing to let other teams make the idiotic bids.

And what makes more sense then dealing a 24 year old goal scoring winger for a 35 year old one who will have a higher cap hit even after Neal's new deal?

Iginla for Martin, Kennedy and Morrow.

You don't think any number of teams could -- and would -- put together a better package for a player like Iginla?

This blog is ridiculous.

I'll take iggy

But I don't think it will happen

Come on! You guys already have Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Staal and to a lesser extent Fleury...

Don't you think you're getting a little greedy asking for Iggy?

I'd do Kennedy, Martin, Tangradi and a draft pick.

I wouldn't trade Morrow or Despres. They are the future of the Penguins defense core.

Kennedy can score, but seems a bit snakebitten this season. A change might do him some good. He has good speed, great energy, and he's a tough little guy.

Martin isn't nearly as bad as people make him out to be. Yeah, he doesn't produce offensively what he was supposed to, but he's a veteran defenseman.

Tangradi is an enigma. He has a lot of potential but doesn't seem to be showing it in Pittsburgh. He has value now, but he won't for too much longer if he doesn't show something. Who knows, maybe Calgary has the coaching or seasoned players on bench who can unlock his potential.

I think that's a fair trade. Pittsburgh unloads Martin and Kennedy's salary, throws in Tangradi as prospect fodder, a draft pick for good measure, for an aging Iginla. They get a young wing, a veteran defenseman, an "on the cusp" netfront presence, and a pick. Seems fair to me.

Exactly.....Pittsburgh shouldn't make such a move. Let Philly or San Jose or LA do something like that. Let Pittsburgh try the subtle moves again. Pick up depth.

From a roster standpoint, that is really all they have to do. I have my doubts about this team ever being fully healthy, but if they are, there isnt much to alter.

I'm sure there would be many, but unless the offer blew Feaster away Iggy isn't going anywhere.

there is no point- by any one- to talk about an iggy trade. He isn't going anywhere (e12)

The rancor and outrage over the trade proposal was expected. I don't think the specifics of the Martin no-trade clause are public. I understand it to be limited.

It is likely that most non Penguin fans are unfamiliar with Morrow's value.

From a roster standpoint, that is really all they have to do. I have my doubts about this team ever being fully healthy, but if they are, there isnt much to alter.

I hear ya. I wonder for instance what the cost of Ruutu would be? Maybe more D depth by re-acquiring a Hal Gill for the PK.

If you are going to make a splash for a top forward then make sure he'll be around in 5-6years and not a rental.

Well they did that last year with Neal.

I think the Ruutu bidding will be high. Gill is the more realistic option IMO.

What would the cost of Ruutu actually be though? A secound rounder and a depth player? Perhaps a move worth making given your depth of young impact players.

That trade is far from fair. Martin is seriously overpaid, Kennedy is a depth forward, and Morrow, while a decent prospect, is far from a sure thing. This is Jarome Iginla we're talking about. This is all not to mention the fact that 28 other teams will try to beat that package, and it's likely Calgary will get a better offer. Pass.
