What's sad is that all the talk was about Chicago & the streak, much deserved no doubt, but what about the turnaround in Anaheim under Bruce Boudreau ? Not a single word whispered. They finished tied for third worst in the league last year, yet currently have the 2nd most points in the league behind only Chicago. They have an 11 point lead in the Pacific Division (One more game played than both L.A & Dallas) & a nine point lead on fourth place Detroit, yet I haven't heard ANY talk about them at all, unless it's in regards to Getzlaf (Signed yesterday), or Perry (Still unsigned). Unfortunate there success this season has gone largely unnoticed, but I'm sure they aren't concerned about that at all.

There are going to be some big moves this year. Iginla is going to get moved to one of Boston, LA, Pittsburgh or Chicago. Gaborik and Keith Yandle's names have come up in rumors too.

The Pens traded top prospect Joe Morrow and a 5th round pick to Dallas for Brenden Morrow and a 3rd. I don't care for this.. helps the team now, but you'd think they could've gotten a better (younger and faster) return for the top prospect.

Iginla a healthy scratch tonight against Colorado. First game he's missed in a Flames uniform since April 7, 2007. Sounds like he's on his way out as expected.

Milbury is saying he's going to Boston, which means he's going to Florida, Carolina, Trashville or Dallas :wink:

Mad Mike is such a clown. Pretty much everyone is saying he's going to Boston, so it's seems the likely destination. Calgary wants prospects in the deal & some of the likely candidates were also healthy scratches tonight. I wonder what line Boston would put him on if they get him ? Putting him on the right of Krejci & Lucic on the first line is probably the safe bet, because there's no reason to break up Bergeron & Seguin. They've moved Marchand down to the third line & moved Paille up to the second.

Look for word on the Phoenix Coyotes future to be decided before the playoffs start. Quebec City, Seattle & Kansas City are the front runners for relocation if it were to come to that, which is what it's looking like at this point.

The guys on TSN are saying the Iginla to Boston deal is done, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. The deal is for Alexander Khokhlachev, Matt Bartkowski & a conditional 1st round pick. The conditional 1st round pick is contingent on Iginla re-signing with Boston. Nothing will probably be official tonight, but all the insider guys are saying it's complete. Stay tuned tomorrow for the official announcement.

Edit: Report: Calgary Flames trade Jarome Iginla to Boston Bruins - NHL.com

The Calgary Flames have traded their captain and all-time scoring leader, Jarome Iginla, to the Boston Bruins, TSN's Aaron Ward reported early Thursday morning.


Iginla, 35, has nine goals and 22 points this season for the struggling Flames. He has played his entire NHL career in Calgary, scoring 525 goals. He had played 441 consecutive games before the Flames scratched him Wednesday night for a game against the Colorado Avalanche. He had appeared in every game for Calgary since April 8, 2007.


Iginla will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.


According to Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com, the Bruins are sending center Alexander Khokhlachev, defenseman Matt Bartkowski and a first-round draft pick at this year's NHL Draft to Calgary.


More to come.

Whoa nelly.

Calgary Flames trade Jarome Iginla to Pittsburgh Penguins - NHL.com

In a shocking turn of events on a wild Thursday morning, the Calgary Flames announced that they've traded franchise icon Jarome Iginla to the Penguins for Pittsburgh's first-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, the rights to unsigned draft choice Kenneth Agostino and unsigned draft choice Ben Hanowski.

Throughout much of Wednesday night, reports from numerous media outlets had Iginla being traded to Boston, but the Flames announced the deal with Pittsburgh at 1:30 a.m. ET Thursday, not long after their 4-3 home victory against Colorado.

It is the third major deal in the past 72 hours by Pittsburgh GM Ray Shero. On Monday, he obtained gritty veteran forward Brenden Morrow from the Dallas Stars for prospect Joe Morrow and a draft pick. Less than 24 hours later, he plucked veteran defenseman Douglas Murray from San Jose for two second-round picks. Now he has bagged Iginla, the prize of this year's trade market

Just posted the same in the Pens thread. Yeah, that's kind of what I envisioned you were feeling like right about now. Malkin sounds like he's close to returning, but they can probably afford to take there time with him now as well as Letang. They have a comfortable first place lead, so there's really no rush to get those two vital players back ASAP.
