A team of Iggy and crap without Iggy wouldn't exactly be crap unless you dealt Iggy for crap. I think everyone forgets that if you trade Iggy we aren't left with this team and no Iggy, we're left with this team and whatever we get for Iggy.
So a team without a few of our current older star players but a few players like Sven would be much better to watch.

Say you dealt Iggy for 2 high 1st round picks (somehow). Now, Iggy isn't on the team, and in all likelyhood, neither are those two 1st round picks. They probably aren't ready. So your assertion that a team of Iggy and crap without Iggy wouldn't exactly be crap unless you trade Iggy for crap is only true if the non-crap you trade Iggy for is for existing NHL players and not futures.
Assuming Sven plays well over the next year, I think you'll see Iggy move from 'face of the franchise' to 'fan favourite' to both his and the team's benefit.
