Iginla or Gionta really, if you're going with the crusty vet. Personally I think Gionta is more useful at this point

Slim pickins out there

Plus Iginla is going to a contender if he goes anywhere.

He has MAYBE one more season in him, what is in Buffalo for him?

A lucrative 1 year deal and a center to inflate his stats to extend his career

That 10-11 team was basement bound as well. if it wasnt for a freak 16-4-4 run where even jhonas enroth stood on his head that team finishes bottom 10 as well.
- Sabresfan-365

they made the playoffs...that's the bottom line...and they did it with a team that had slightly more talent overall than last year's team

I'd rather be 9th in the east than 12th. At least that's progress and it sounds like a more fun season

He'll be 40 in two days. He'll be lucky to play next season let alone plan for more years.

This would be a great time to trade for a project defenseman or winger. Not a flier. A guy with a lot of promise who needs a year or two in the A.

? The only difference between finishing 12th in the east and 9th is about 3-6 spots in the draft order.

our needs dont really change based on that and at the end of the day its still missing the playoffs.

Yes, yikes! Might be worth a shot on Marleau but he probably wants too much

I was once in the boat of loving Iginla... Really wish we could have gotten him a few years ago even just for a little. One of my favorite players in the league.

But right now at 39. Nah fam. I can see him going to the likes of STL, CHI, NYR, or SJ chasing a ring now.

- JVince11


We could have landed Iginla - when Peca held out. Thought that was who Buffalo wanted from Calgary.

9th means you're legitimately in the hunt in April though. I want that feeling again

I feel like it's more Reward = Risk, and I don't think there's a ton of risk
