Star forward admits he would consider a trade to contending team.

There have been a lot of rumors coming off of the holiday break and you can rest assured that the players hear all of them, even if they will often suggest the contrary is true. 

One man who has heard the rumors is future Hall-of-Fame forward Jarome Iginla and with the current struggles of his Colorado Avalanche, as well as his expiring contract, it seems like he would welcome a trade to a contending team.

The motivation for Iginla here is obvious, at this stage of his career he wants to achieve the ultimate success that has eluded him despite his magnificent career, Lord Stanley's Cup.
