My employer isn't "investing" in me when I get my paycheque every week, they're simply paying me what I'm owed based upon our contract, just like the Flames have been doing with Iggy (and ever other player ever on the roster). What a bizarre comment...like Iginla owes the Flames something for allowing him to play here? lol

Unless Ken King has arranged $80 million dollars in hockey camps and power skating courses for Iginla over the last 15 years he (or his employers) hasn't "invested" any money into Iginla.
I don't think you understand business. Iginla is an investment. He has invested $80 million dollars for Iginla to help lead Calgary to a championship. Winning or not, Iginla is an investment.
