Only Joe Thornton is a real comparable player given point in his career and Heatley's career is on a nosedive. It's reasonable to expect that Iginla in 2013 may score 25 goals and 55 points which is pretty close to Glencross numbers.
If Iginla has a good 48 games I'm fine with paying him $6 million for 2013 and $4.5, then $4.0 but what if he has a terrible 48 games? Can you affort to mortgage that kind of money for a player that may be on a massive decline? Honestly there were stretches in 2011/2012 where he just wasnt' very good and it's hard for me to believe he's going to do anything but get worse in the next couple of seasons.
