All I can say is that they're two very different types of players. Sakic had more finesse and better hands, while Iggy is the ultimate power forward. I'd have no qualms about having either of them on the Flames or any Canadian Olympic team. But having seen both on the same team was special.

As well as a few has mentioned, Iggy had double and triple coverages on most nights with players draped all over him. Yet, he still scores 30+ goals a season, with 2 or 3 of those seaons during the 1st pre-CBA era when holding and clutching was the norm. If only the Flames had other guys who scored on a consistant basis, Maybe Iggy would've had more points and goals instead of earning the hard goals. A lot of times where he's on a verge of a hattrick, he'd dish the puck of to his linemate instead of getting the hattrick himself. Sometimes, I wish he was a bit more selfish, but that's the quality in him that shows what kind of a person he is on and off the ice.
