However, I do think he will bring more to the team he goes to than he has to the Flames in recent years, if only because he'll have something to prove, and will play like he did in the Dallas game. For a few weeks anyway (which is all the team picking him up will need).

Considering they were both FA's I don't think the age plays that big a part in the value of each. Iginla also has a lot better intangibles than Hossa did and much bigger big game history.
In terms of secondary scoring I don't think he would be expected to be the top scorer on the team but he would be expected to be more than a secondary scorer and likely be first line PP, first choice end of game down 1 and playing top 3/4 minutes for forwards on a team.
