The Blue Jackets failed to acquire a player with star potential, prompting the Sun to suggest a deal involving Iginla could result in a similar return.
Flames GM Jay Feaster has indicated several times that he is not interest in moving Iginla, despite numerous reports suggesting the team has entertained inquiries.
With one-year left on his contract, the Sun indicates that no team will offer a future star, especially if Iginla isn't signed to a contract extension.
In all 82 games with the Flames this past season, Iginla registered 32 goals and 35 assists for 67 points.
