Value of: Jarome Iginla

[McArthur]

Statistically his worst season ever last season... last year of his contract and he's 39 years old. Does Colorado even consider it with the massive hole they have at RW?

Consider what? He isn't waiving.

 

[El Travo]

Can we have a sticky that reads:

Avalanche would move him but Jarome Iginla isn't waiving his NMC, stop making proposals regarding him. Thank you.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Shouldn't really be a thing unless the Avalanche are out at the deadline and he states he wants 1 last chance at a cup.

isn't the writing on the wall already? Colorado's season is over in January.

He IS the massive hole at RW.

Its astonishing how many people still think he has value. I wish Sakic could find a GM that watches Avs games as much as posters here do.

I would do Wideman for Iginla. Outside of that, I'd have little to no interest in him. Although I'd imagine the Av's may want to clear some space in a potential deal.

haha, maybe. that's kind of why I ask. it's a curious question. I think he'd be good in a line 3-4 role in the playoffs. can't see him on special teams too much unless he starts the season on a new team. He must be close to retirement... carries a larger cap hit given present production.... 3rd round pick? 2nd if Colorado is better than 10th at the deadline?

Iggy's a bum. No one is going to trade for him.

I'm glad you noticed ignila worst season ever, yet missed every thread about him that he is very adamant about finishing his career in Colorado. I wish he would but it's not gonna happen

In the unlikely scenario that Iginla waives his NMC, what the Avs want back depends on the trade. If the other team is willing to take full salary, during the offseason probably a mid/late pick. If the Avs take back salary or retain, the price might go up.

Iggy's a hero and a great guy. No one is going to trade for him.

Fixed it for ya

oh, is that what he said? because it's so much easier to say....
"I don't have much faith in my team this year..."
"All I want for Christmas is a new team to play on..."
"I would really like to play roe-sham-bow with my agent for getting me to sign this contract..."
"I really like my taxes in Colorado..."
"If I played for a different team... i'd wake up, rock my wife in a 3 way at the bunny ranch, and score 50 goals again..."

Of course he's gonna say...

"we have no off ice issues here"
"I like that i'm the only NHL calibre natural RW on our team, at 39 I've found the fountain of youth in the form of Gatorade/biosteel" (whoever pays him more to say Gatorade or biosteel)
"after practicing once or twice with Trent Vogelhuber, I really feel we have no holes in our organization."


or even...

"Pat has tought me soooo much more about my game and how to improve it, that i'm thinking I might finish the season in net.... Then I can be a better defensive player on all 4 lines... because i'm only 39... And I can spend more time with Trent Vogelhuber..."

His family is happy here, he's looking beyond the end of his career.

"even though I still have a place in St. Albert... I can smoke more pot in Denver!"

so kinda those 2?

 

[Newusername]

Well we found the bitter "e-town" fan that is mad at iggy for roasting his team for 15 years. Let's wrap it up

 

[tigervixxxen]

He was adamant. He's made it very clear to everyone who asks he hated moving his family around and wanted to settle somewhere. It's not just the standard "sure I like playing here" he says he's not doing it to his family. He's been flat out asked if he'd ever waive and said no. Now we get it, say things aren't looking good in February and Sakic approaches him and says we have a deal for you to go to X contender and he doesn't have to move his family for the short run if he doesn't want to, maybe. Who knows. But at this point he's as good as stuck. He's sort of semi-retired as it is and it seems like he's kinda content with that.

It's just funny all these threads come up and our fanbase is pretty much in agreement we'd LOVE to move him for a pick. There's really not even anything to debate. I'd personally hope they'd retain and up the value of a pick. A second or third sounds fantastic. They could probably get a decent replacement with half retained.

It's pointless for a team to acquire him and not use Iginla on special teams, that's really the one advantage he has left. He'd probably be fine as a third wheel on a scoring 3rd line on a deep contender. He can still shoot the puck, it's just everything else... He's still a great guy, nice to have around. I'm sure everyone wants to see him win the Cup. i do too. I'd also for once like the Avs to turn something into an asset but I'm not holding my breath.

holy diplomacy! I didn't realize this topic has been beaten to death. he'd be perfect with what we got going on here right now. I was curious. I usually try to avoid the trade boards...

 

[Redline]

I'll try and attend an Avalanche game during a late season western Canada trip, preferably in Calgary if he lets it known he's hanging them up. Might be a tough ticket to find under those circumstances though.

 

[Halla]

he has 600+g and 1300 pts more in the NHL than you do

Yes he is, but that shot though and the possibility of him having the Briere like stepping up in the playoffs if we get there

 

[Walkingthroughforest]

If the Flames are a playoff team this year, they're the only team I think he may waive for.

 

[PensPlz]

Can he play LW???

 

[Zirakzigil]

What are you talking about? The Pens first line would be Kunitz Crosby Iginla with him in the lineup!

Only team I think Iginla waives to is Calgary.
