So, there's this report that Jarome Iginla has placed the L.A. Kings on his list of 4 teams to which he would accept a trade. The teams are Boston, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Chicago. Cross out Pittsburgh as they just landed Brenden Morrow. This got me thinking. Dean Lombardi has gone kinky before, right? The Justin Williams trade...why do I feel like there was another? Three-way trades … [Read more...]
Shut Up About Iginla Already. Dean Isn’t Insane…But You May Be
March 23, 2013 By
Iginla this, Iginla that. It's nearly as absurd as the Gaborik trade rumors I have heard. Actually, it's not even close to the Gaborik ones but it is still nonsense. For those who want to see him as an L.A. King, what exactly do you see going the other way? Can he command a 1st round draft pick from a contender? Yes, a stupid one. I think twice before I give up a 2nd for him. I know he's … [Read more...]

PIPE DREAM OR PREMONITION: KING JAROME IGINLA
October 14, 2010 By
Only six months ago, Jarome Iginla spoke the following words to the Calgary Sun: "If they don't want me here and want to move in a different direction, I would look at it," Iginla said. "You want to play where you are wanted and have people believe in you. If they do that, we would look at it. It wouldn't be personal. My family has been treated very well. I want to be part of the solution here … [Read more...]
