I don't get the upset on Iggy really.
He is likely cheap.
LA isn't getting any extra help.
We all want them to keep picks and prospects.
The Kings are what they are. Likely out in the first round against Minny if they make it.....but you never know.
Iggy is a cheap rental. Not like he is locked up for 10 more years.
This was so obvious.
I don't expect much, but I don't see it being all that detrimental.

Its a gamble they have to make because Kopitar has no hands this year. Its a long shot but low risk.

I heard the same comments about Vinny coming here last year. I thought he fit in well. This is a short term patch. It isn't the end of the world.

Yes. It might not be a huge improvement. But, a 39 year old Iginla is upgrade over Dwight King, imo.

These are the moves you make when your 1 point out of the playoff race and don't want to mortgage the future JU...
Bishop's rights could be dealt in the off season or maybe a deal could be struck with LV..
Iginla while old as dirt still has tons of intangibles that can help a team like ours
King is not the same player he was 2 seasons ago, so he had to go and we got a decent pick for him
Also, keep in mind that guys like Kopi, Gabo and Foli have all had down years to put it nicely. While Muzz and Amart has plain sucked and probably cost us twice as many games than the offensive group mentioned above.
For those of you that haven't realized it yet, this is what retooling/rebuilding on the fly looks like and we're still in the playoff hunt.... DL is still among the best in the game so just shut up with all the whining

with a few more kids almost ready to come up, so again let DL do his job because as I've said he's still one of the best in the business...
Mike Johnson on NHL network - Iginla has only 4 even strength goals, the other 4 are on the power play. He is not a good even strength player.

At worst, its an even trade (Iginla for King). At best, he still has decent hands and who knows what he can do on a better team.

Pretty much swapped King for Iginla. I can live with that, but is this really it?
I hope Brodzinski gets promoted tomorrow.

I don't have a problem with it because we didn't give up much of anything (depending on the conditions), but I just don't feel we have improved
