Iginla trade rumors are unusually intense
Jarome Iginla - W - Calgary Flames
March 27, 2013 - 8:10 AM ET

Even for Jarome Iginla, the trade rumors swirling around him right now are different.

"It's part of hockey," Iginla said. "I haven't been (the subject of) this much speculation since I started playing. But guys go through it all the time, every year at the deadline. And it's my turn." That's saying a lot because there's been speculation about the Calgary Flames trading Iginla for years. However, things are different now because Iginla will reportedly agree to a trade if it involves the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, or Los Angeles Kings. His contract expires this summer, so this could be Calgary's last chance to trade him for a good return.
