It was only a matter of time before this started. Pierre Lebrun had a really good read on this today:
As I reported last week and it’s been reported elsewhere, the Penguins are believed to have interest in Flames winger Jarome Iginla but just how much they’d be willing to pay on that front, or whether Iginla would have any interest in waiving his no-trade clause to go to Pittsburgh, who knows. Not to mention that the Flames haven’t yet decided whether they’re even moving Iginla.
Some other good Shero quotes in that piece.
As Lebrun mentions, who really knows if the Flames will even part with Ignila. But he is a UFA in the off-season, so can they risk losing him for nothing? Also worth asking will the price in a trade even be as high as it could because he is UFA?
Look back at some other deals with soon to be UFA's. The price the Devils paid for Kovalchuk was low, really same for the Penguins and Hossa.

During the second intermission of Wednesday night's Calgary Flames game at the Scotiabank Saddledome against the San Jose Sharks, a fan stripped down to his briefs and jumped over the glass onto the ice.

Calgary Flames, New York Islanders Likely to Trade Away Key Players as NHL Trade Deadline Looms
The NHL trade deadline is Wednesday, April 3, which means we’re officially less than one month away. It could be an odd trade deadline given the fact that we’re dealing with a shortened season. A lot of teams are still trying to figure out whether they are going to become competitive or whether it’s best to give up the short-term goals and focus on the future.
On that note...

Calgary Flames win game, deflect trade rumors
Maybe the Miikka Kiprusoff trade rumors will simmer down now that he returned from his knee injury to throttle the San Jose Sharks 4-1 after a month-long layoff.Or perhaps that stellar performance will only intensify interest in the Calgary Flames netminder, who has one year left on his current deal.Kiprusoff feels ready to shoulder a big load as his team prepares for the stretch...
Flames 4, Sharks 1
Miikka Kiprusoff made 32 saves in his return from a knee injury to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.

Colin Dambrauskas: Sidney Crosby and Jarome Iginla?...Yikes.
Follow me on Twitter: @ColinDJD
There has been a lot of chatter in recent days that Penguins GM Ray Shero is looking for some added depth, but more specifically, support for Sidney Crosby.

It seems the main focus for these...
Fan leaps onto ice during Calgary Flames/San Jose Sharks game (Video)
Over the years on Outside the Boxscore, we've posted some pretty notable fan intrusions during sporting events but this one from last night's Calgary Flames/San Jose Sharks NHL affair is pretty darn impressive.

Colin Dambrauskas: SJ Sharks @ Calgary Flames Preview...Karri Ramo Update
Follow me on Twitter!: @ColinDJD
The Calgary Flames will play host to the San Jose Sharks tonight and although both teams are fresh off a win over the Vancouver Canucks, San Jose ran over the Flames 4-1 and went on a 7 game winning streak the last time they met. No doubt the Sharks will be looking to ignite another string of wins tonight in Calgary.
After their streak, however...

Follow me on Twitter!: @ColinDJD
The Calgary Flames took on the San Jose Sharks at home last night and came through with a big win putting them at a .500 game pace. Kipursoff came back better than before allowing only 1 goal on 33 shots. In the 3rd the Flames were outshot 17-6 and Kipursoff stopped each and every one of them. Having Kipursoff behind the team seemed to elevate...
Fan jumps on ice during Flames-Sharks game in his boxers
On Wednesday night one of the rarities occurred in hockey, when a fan climbed over the boards and glass to get onto the ice to go running around in his boxers. How he managed to get over the boards in the corner where he was coming out from is beyond me, but he did it somehow. At least this time it was between periods when the Calgary Flames and San Jose Sharks were playing....
