Many news papers and media members have been reporting that Iginla is on the brink of being traded, however the Sun says Iginla sat down with a team official and was told he will not be asked to waive his no-trade clause at any point this season.
The Flames currently sit 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 8-10-1 record, good for 17 points. They are suffering from their lack of defence, as they are 23rd in the NHL when it comes to goals against per game, with an average of 3.10.
The Flames already completed one trade this season, as general manager Darryl Sutter traded his son Brett to the Carolina Hurricanes, along with Ian White, in return for Anton Babchuck and Tom Kostopoulos. The report suggests the Flames could "entertain" offers for the likes of Robyn Regehr, Cory Sarich and Daymond Langkow, but all three have no-trade clauses.
Iginla has eight goals and eight assists in 15 games this season. He has two years remaining on his contract, which consists of a $7 million cap hit.
