One thing is sure, the trade deadline is an exciting time of the year for the NHL fans, but also a time where plenty of rumors turn out to be repeated and only being spun on another tone. 

This time, the trade rumor is regarding Jarome Iginla (who's not a new name on the market) being eyed by the Los Angeles Kings which is a new name being dropped. The information is coming from ESPN's top insider and well-respected hockey writer Pierre LeBrun.

"Could a reunion with his former Calgary Flames coach/GM Darryl Sutter be a possibility? A source told ESPN.com that the Los Angeles Kings have kicked around the merits of that idea given that history between their coach and Iginla. Whether the Kings actually decide to act on it and call Colorado about it remains to be seen."

There is a huge "IF" to this trade rumor. Jarome Iginla would be a great fit and certainly be contending for the cup with the LA Kings IF (and this is the huge "IF") Dean Lombardi can fit his salary under the salary cap. It's money talks here.

"If Kings GM Dean Lombardi does decide to proceed on the Iginla front -- and again, let me stress he may not -- that $5.33 million cap hit will be an issue. There's no question that the Kings would need the Avalanche to eat some of it."
