After all, even with the inevitable signing of restricted free agent Sam Bennett, the Flames will have roughly $4.5 million in cap space to sign either veteran. Despite being 40 and 45, respectively, you can understand the misty-eyed allure of adding Iginla or Jagr, as both are legends.

“I don’t know where all this talk comes from — we certainly never made a statement saying we’re looking at so-and-so,” Treliving said, for the first time addressing the summertime street talk.

“Both are Hall of Famers. Nobody has done more as a player in Calgary than Jarome Iginla. You can’t help but respect them. But, this notion we’ve been in contract talks with them is rumour and I’m not going to comment on them.

“Are we going to go to camp with the group we have? Good chance. Are we poking around at a few things and could there be additions before camp? Yes. Is that a guarantee? No.

“I wouldn’t say there’s anything significant on the horizon, but we look at everything every day.”
