Iginla, rest of season : bust or buy low?
For the league in my signature.
Iggy is usually a great 2nd half producer, but looking at his game log I see that he has only 1 point in his last 8 games, plus his ice time was below 10 minutes last game...
Trade deadline is coming up in my league and I was wondering if 1 point in 8 games will be the norm for Iginla for the rest of the season or if this is an opportunity to buy low.
Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Re: Iginla, rest of season : bust or buy low?
I dropped Iggy a couple of weeks ago, I thinks he still has some good hockey in him, but I just hate how the Avs are using him right now. Unless they move him to another team, he's a bust fantasy wise for me.

Re: Iginla, rest of season : bust or buy low?
I've dropped him back in December, after his horrible stretch at the beginning of the season.
Some people here were still optimistic about him, but looking at his game logs, his usage and his dropping ice-time, I wasn't buying a second half-surge...
I still don't - I picked up Soderberg a month ago and never looked back.
Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.
Re: Iginla, rest of season : bust or buy low?
I don't think he'll do good but he's definitely not a 1 point in 8 games player. I wouldn't want him on my team though
Re: Iginla, rest of season : bust or buy low?
Wait till he starts heating up and add him then. He's old so most people will not give him much thought.

He's not on WW, he's owned by another GM that will miss the playoffs. That's why I thought of maybe pitching a buy low offer...Originally Posted by ericdaoust

I'm not sure it's really worth it unless you're not giving up anything of significance.
