Jarome Iginla traded to PIT for PIT's 1st rounder in 2013 and college prospects Kenneth Agostino (Yale) and Ben Hanowski (St. Cloud State).

WOW......tail the pens hard

El Nino · 03-28-13, 12:47 AM

Hmmm, seems to be a better fit with the Bruins. Always been a big Iginla fan though. I hope he gets to hoist the cup.

samgurt · 03-28-13, 12:57 AM

Pitt is making too many trades. Gonna have a whole new team chemistry now...and they didn't need all these players in the first place. Oh well, I'm happy as long as my wild keep it up

Can you really break up the Crosby-Kunitz-Dupuis line? They have been on fire so far this season.
May well end up something like Crosby-Kunitz-Dupuis....Iginla-Malkin-Neal....Morrow-Sutter-Kennedy.
Pretty stacked indeed.

let the hype begin

DEUCED · 03-28-13, 04:52 PM

Big Iginla fan but you almost have to cheer against the Pens now. Reminds me of the Yankees beefing up their team to win the WS.

Big surprise there. TSN ( Toronto Sports Network). All they care about covering with any accuracy is the Leafs. I would have bought a Bruins #12 jersey but not a Pens #12. Shitty.

hockey216 · 03-28-13, 04:59 PM

Read Bos GM chiarelli media transcript today. Calgary and Bos had a done deal yesterday at noon, then Calgary renigged. Bos sending bartowski and khokhlachev. calgary renigged after they made a deal. Jerome wanted to go to Pittsburgh and refused Boston. Changed mind AFTER the deal was made. Jarome and Calgary made deal with Bos then renigged. What a scum bag jarome is. Promises to come to Boston, deal all set at 12pm, then he renigs? What a jerk.

hockey216 · 03-28-13, 05:03 PM

Feaster told Boston they had a deal. Then jarome decided he likes pit better than Bos. Makes deal agreeing to go to Bos, then trade finalized. After was finalized he renigs. Unbelievable. I hope PIT goes down in flames and fleury takes a dump in goal just like last year. Too late to renig after you have a done deal.

DEUCED · 03-28-13, 05:12 PM

"Renigged". Is that a play on Iginla? Lol.

hockey216 · 03-28-13, 05:25 PM

I can't spell but reniging is when you go back on deal. Calgary GM called Bos GM yesterday at 12 noon. Was a done deal. Bot teams scratched players. Jarome renigged last minute. After he agreed boston 1 of 4 Teams he ok with. What a scum bag. You can't renig after its a done deal. What a fker. Jarome is a scum bag.

DEUCED · 03-28-13, 05:48 PM

Lol. No just wondering if it was a race joke/pun. Haha. Reneg'd. Short for renegotiated. Not trying to be a prick. Just thought it was on purpose. You are right that is dirty and I hope he doesn't win now. Like when Ray Bourque played his whole career with Boston then signed a one year deal with the Avs for a cup. Seemed like a tainted ring to me? Not as sweet. Good luck tonight, man.

MickeyMan · 03-28-13, 07:28 PM

I would blame feaster not iginla

In the end, athletes just care about themselves and have no heart. Whenever you watch NBA on ABC on Sundays, they show those "NBA Cares" vignettes. Those NBA players are clearly reading off a cue-card. The point of all this:

Flames: Jerome, by you going to Boston you can help the rebuilding of our Flames franchise.
Jerome: penetrate you guys! I'm goint to Pitt!!

Athletes dun give a shit!!!

LOL, penetrate. I didn't know SBR has a profanity filter. Penetrate should be F**k

hockey216 · 03-28-13, 08:21 PM

Had no problem with Jerome leaving. He has right to Leave. If he wanted pit then he should have said that up front and not agreed to go to Boston. If he made this decision up front no prob. But AFTER DEAL IS DONE AND GMS CONFIRM TRADE IS DONE/OVER, you'd have to be a real scum bag to reneg. Calgary GM called Bos GM and finalized deal yesterday 12 noon. If he wanted to back out he had weeks to do it before deal was done. Don't agree to it all along then after both GMS, coaches, owners all agree and finalize it, you back out. Back out before deal is done or don't back out. Reneging after the deal is finalized (ESPECIALLY A HUGE TRADE LIKE THIS INVOLVING PLAYER OF THIS CALIBER) is very unethical. Calgary should have honored their word, said to Jerome "you agreed Boston, trade already finalized, too late to back out." Only a scum bag would reneg on a deal already finalized and over. What a shit head. FK you Jerome. I hope Zeno chara and Milan Lucic punch your fking head in during playoffs.

FrozenMAN · 03-28-13, 08:24 PM

that's big...he'll score a ton in pittsburgh and i'm loving it for the fantasy playoffs!

Why does it bother you so much? If he has a no trade/move clause in his contract then he has the right to do that. Call it what you will but its all part of the business man.

he has the right. but common ethics is if you want to go to pittsburgh and refuse boston, then you say that up front. you don't agree to waive no-trade clause to go to boston, say you're fine with BOS all along, wait until AFTER DEAL FINALIZED to say "oh, wait. i hate boston i want to go to pittsburgh." Should have said that up front. You don't agree to go to boston all along, and then wait till AFTER trade finalized to pull that shit last minute. Should have voiced opinion before trade was finalized, not after. You have to be a real scum bag to agree to it 100% whole way, then pull the reneg shit out of the blue AFTER DEAL WAS FINALIZED.

until you realize thats part of sports you wont understand. I do agree he is being un ethical, but thats just part of all sports. That will never change

I agree it was a douche move but we don't know all the stuff which went in the background and never will. But hey, I believe leaving the home team after 17 years, being the captain for the past 10 years, is a douchy move itself. Not saying he doesn't deserve to win a Stanley cup in his career but yeah, the captain is the first to abandon the sinking ship...
