( I used Datsyuk as a comparible because of the consensus about how great he is and his closeness in age)

Terrible comparison as Iginla is long past his peak numbers early in the last decade and is strickly a one-dimensional player now. Datsyuk is getting up there in age but he's a much better skater and all around player than Iginla and has much more value.
