Iginla would be a fantastic add for this team. He can play up and down the line up and is a force on the powerplay. He brings tons of grit and leadership. Would even prefer him over versteeg.
I think ferland will do great on the gaudreau-Monahan line this season. But Iginla will be a great option if that line (or any line really) needs a change at any point in the season. He's the perfect complimentary player for a team ready to take the next step.
This team is poised to improve next year but to me it still feels like it needs another spark to become a contender. I don't think any of the other free agent wingers that people are talking about (Williams, Vrbata, etc.) bring that element. I think Iginla can bring that along with depth production. I don't think any of those other guys will bring the excitement/momentum that Iginla will bring.
