Iginla does deserve a bit more ice time, but let's not kid ourselves, he isn't as elite as he was 3 years ago

No, but four years ago Iggy only had 67 points. The year he led us to the Cup-in his prime-he had 73 points, which he is on pace for this year.
I would agree that Jarome is not as elite as he was three years ago. But he is as elite as he was four years ago...even a little eliter. Just because he is a year older and having an off year, doesn't mean it is age related; it has happened in his prime as well. Jarome is eniginlamatic.
