However, circumstances change. Iginla could want to come here now that the Flames appear to be a contender. Management may want to add a guy like him. I don't know.

Definitely seemed like plan A was Patrick Sharp.
The Flames want a right shot that can take faceoffs. Really all that is left on the UFA market is the 3 old men. I truly believe Iggy is the best fit so I hope it happens and am excited by some of the comments others have verified that he may have interest in returning. Having said that everything you hear from the organization publically and even the FAN shoot it down on a regular basis. Hope it happens but not betting on it
