As for Nash bringing more to the table, I am not sure what that is exactly, his career high in assists is 39. Not exactly impressive. He has just as many points as Iginla this year, and Iginla has struggled for the majority of the season. I really don't get all the Rick Nash hype, and what makes him a lock for Canada's first line.

Nash may be better at certain aspects of the game than Iginla, but I wouldn't say either of those things are putting the puck in the net, or helping other people put the puck in the net.
Nash is fast. That is the only thing I can think of, but for my money, the "chemistry" argument does not apply. Iginla has looked at least as comfortable with Crosby as Nash in my opinion.
