This would be a win win scenario for the Flames and Iginla. Some free assets to help the building process and Iginla signs his last contract with the Flames and gets a shot at a cup. Obviously this scenario only occurs if the Flames aren't in the playoff race.

Recchi and Weight were traded to Carolina and then went back to the Penguins/Blues respectively. Tkachuk also went back to St Louis after a stint with the Thrashers.
If this were to happen with Iggy... I don't even know if I'd want him to come back, honestly. The page has been turned. He'd have his ring, the Flames would be moving in a different direction. Would you do that with a relationship? Because being together breaking up then getting back together seems unhelpful.
We'll always love Iggy. If it's time to move on, it's time to move on. But let's see how the team actually looks on the ice first.
