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.

WOW, if you get two high first and they aren't ready then thats even better. Next year you work on "player development" and stock pile picks all while not winnin for McKinnon. We'd have Sven, Brodie, Irving, Ferland and whoever elese can make the jump next year on the team gaining some experience all while those 2 high end picks are getting ready and maybe even have a call up or two and the next year you ice a team of exciting tallented players.
We aren't going to be good next year anyway, might as well be rewarded for it.
