Another year and once again apparently the Flames are looking to move Jarome Iginla because of budget issues. I'm not sure why Jarome ever even resigned in Calgary. Sure he's the captain and the fan's absolutely love him, but with his style of play he'd be a fan favorite in any city and probably a big part of the leadership inside the dressing room. Now I'm not going to say Jarome is greedy but would any other team have given him max money? Sure he's a great player but there are only two players in the league that deserve max money and neither of them get it. It is rumored that this time around Jarome has been asked to waive his no trade clause and he has said he would waive it for only a select few teams. Carolina, Colorado, Montreal, Vancouver, Anaheim and New York. The problem is that Mr.Kershaw wants to move him to Atlanta.
Other players rumored to be on the move are Doug Weight, Tim Connolly, and Milan Hejduk. Now if your going to acquire Doug Weight, you really better not give up a whole lot. Really the guy isn't even half the player he once was. If I was GM of a team I wouldn't give up more then a late round pick. The guy really isn't anything more then a 3rd liner at this point in his career. Connolly is another guy that is likely over priced as rumors have the asking prive at the equivalent of 3 first round picks. Now Tim is a very skilled player but, really??? Judging on talent, salary and asking price Milan may be the best bargain. I haven't heard the asking price yet, but from my experiences Kowalchuk is a fairly reasonable guy.
