King pretty well stated what we have all known for years. The owners associate Jarome Iginla with $$$. King didn't talk about the Flames wanting to keep him because he's a great hockey player but how they have invested in him. Three years into what looks to be a playoff drought that will likely span longer than the 7 year drought of the late 90s early 2000's as this team is going to be so terrible in three years propping up Iginla on the first line the rebuild won't likely start until Iginla's retirement which knowing the Flames won't be until he's 40. Yuck.
