How is it terrible? If he long past his peak numbers why does he consistently end up near the top of the scoring statistics league wide? If you base it on stats, which is all I did, Iginla is still outperforming Datsyuk. I think Datsyuk is great and would take him on my team in a second, but I would also take Iginla in the same breath.
Just because YOU say Iginla is one dimensional doesn't diminish his value to the Flames. Iginla is, was and will always be paid to score. He has done exactly what is asked of him. Again, I only used Datsyuk as a comparison so people could get their heads around the fact that Iginla is not really diminishing in ability.
