There is a huge difference between Iginla and Nash. One is signed and in his prime the other is a UFA and on the down swing of his career. To compare returns is LUDACRIS.
Kovalchuk and Hossa UFA's but in there prime and the teams that traded for them got first chance to resign them .... Not the same situation.
I don't think the trade market has changed that much from:
Nashville: Forsberg
Philly: Upshall Parent 1rst and 3rd
Still a pretty big price to pay but from what I remember Parent = Caron. Both prospects that people are/were currently down on.
Upshall was a servicable NHL player but I don't think had really high value or expectations. So I'd take Spooner out after his continued progression into what looks like a top 6 forward.
That leaves us in Knight (probably lower value due to injuries) and Koko territory.
So do you do this deal?
Iggy 4 Koko Caron and 1rst and 3rd ?
I'm on the fence which makes me think it's the kind of deal both teams would consider.
And the best part about dealing with the Flames scouting staff I'm sure we wouldn't have to listen to the we could have had Parise/Getzlaf/Richards cause they will select some bum haha
