I posted this on the other board:

I don't think Babcock knows how to utilize Iginla on this team. Maybe on a squad of stars, he's just one too many, I'm not sure. They may have been better off going with another Bergeron type to fill the role they're trying to force Iginla into. It would likely be better for the team as a whole.

To me, it seems like Babcock doesn't know where to slot Iginla in. Perhaps he's just on the team because of his experience and the respect factor, I don't know.
