Only a couple teams in the league can afford Iggy's salary.
Assuming he wants to go to a Cup contender and they won't trade within the division (the Avs have lots of cap and are a good team), the only plausible place for him to land is LA. They're a good young team with decent assets to trade and about $6m in cap space. Send a player and a prospect or something and that deal looks reasonable.
The only other places he could go that make sense cap-wise are Tampa and St. Louis but they're a bit off from being a contender.
The Caps could make a case but not without sending salary back the other way. I think the Pens have room due to LTIR but not $7m worth.
In conclusion, unless someone is monumentally stupid and doesn't know how to deal with NHL economics, Iggy goes to LA or he stays put in Calgary.
