Avalanche trade Iginla to Kings
Jarome Iginla is headed to Hollywood.
The Colorado Avalanche have dealt the 39-year-old forward to the Los Angeles Kings for a 2018 conditional pick, the Kings announced Wednesday.
It's a conditional fourth-rounder, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, and the Avalanche will retain 50 percent of Iginla's salary, per TSN's Bob McKenzie.
TSN's Darren Dreger reports that there are two conditions on the deal, one being playoff-related and the other being based on whether Iginla re-signs with the Kings for next season.
If Iginla doesn't sign a new deal with Los Angeles and the playoff condition isn't met, the Avalanche won't receive the fourth-round pick, according to Dreger.
Iginla told TSN following the trade that he hasn't decided on his future but said that there's a 50 percent chance he'll play next season.
He's a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a cap hit of $5.33 million in 2016-17.
