Proposal: Iginla to habs for Desharnais

[ottawa]

MB is in Colorado...cap dump for cap dump, who adds? DD has some (limited) experience playing on the wings. Habs could use a cheap rental for the playoffs as well.

Would the Avalanche of Colorado be interested in this? DD will add more speed and grit to your team, and he's a small and useless player but with a big heart. He has no finish and doesn't have the best hands but he has good vision.

Iggy wouldn't be interested at all

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Copied my idea

I added a pick with dd tho

 

[Cousin Eddie]

You already know this but Iggy has control over where he plays. He said he wouldn't waive a few months ago.

 

[Legend123]

I never thought the day would come where DD would be worth something...

Iginla isn't worth anything.

DD adding grit!!??!! Agree that he has heart but grit!?! Come on!!

You still can't get Iggy for the same reasons mentioned months ago

 

[Freudian]

Iginla's kids are in school and have good hockey teams to play for. I don't see him waiving.

Perhaps at trade deadline to a strong cup contender but even that might not be a given. Why a strong cup contender would want him over other rentals is beyond me but perhaps he can hit his second wind for a cup push.

has iginla got that bad?? he almost had 50pts last season?

Well.....

[Steerpike]

He can still score, but, as the eyes and the numbers show, he's not a good hockey player anymore.

Didn't realize the fancy stats put him in "Girardi-bad" discussion

 

[landy92mack29]

Iggy would only wave if the Avs are are out of it early and to a legit cup threat

He's been pretty bad since the Boston days. He's a liability on the ice despite having these artificially inflated stats. He can't skate, he can't finish a check, he's bad defensively and lose pretty much all those one on one battles.

 

[tigervixxxen]

All I want is a pick at the deadline. Otherwise more useless crap doesn't really help, iggy will score a couple goals st some point.

 

[AvroArrow]

Ill burn my house down if Iggy ever wears a habs sweater

 

[Tatar Shots]

Your saying Desharnais has more grit than Iginla?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I just think they should just trade Iginla back to Calgary. I'd hate to not see him retire a Flame, plus they need a RW.

Iginla for Versteeg, Wotherspoon and 4th

Iginla was not bad his first year in Denver. He definitely wasn't prime Iggy, but he wasn't anywhere near as bad as he was last season.

Cap doesn't work on this. Calgary has less than $10k in cap space, and this has them adding more than $4m in cap hit.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Pretty much a PP weapoon and that's it right?

If you're ok with him setting up in one spot for a one-timer and not doing much else, sure.

Desharhnais adds grit in a deal where he replaces iginla?

http://stats.hockeyanalysis.com/rat...00&teamid=0&type=fenwick&sort=PCT&sortdir=ASC Wait, so does this analytics rating mean that Dustin Brown is "better" than those 248 players listed before him?
