I have no issue with paying him the going rate for a 30 goal/65 point player which is between $4.5 and $5 million but this team simply can't afford to overpay for Iginla's based on his past accomplishments.
Also it's not just ME calling him one dimensional. Open your eyes kid.

Long way from "kid" and not a Flames fan. Iginlas contract pays him within the top 30 players in the league, which by scoring stats he has been for at least the last 4 years, even with only 65 points.
If they can sign him to the numbers you suggest that would be great for the Flames, but I am sure his agent will roll out the stats showing he is still within the top 5% of scorers in the league and should be paid accordingly.
