Nice work digging up those numbers. Sure points towards Iggy continuing to be a fairly productive player.

Ah, yes, the dead puck era in which the Flames finished 5th overall in league scoring in 2010/11. Granted they were bottom 5 the other two years, but 10/11 proved that you can score under Sutter's system. Perhaps the blame lies with the players at some point for the lack of offensive production?
And I'd say a 6% drop-off is significant considering how the rest of his game eroded turning that time frame. A small drop-off in scoring combined with a large drop-off in the rest of his game just goes to show how he isn't worth anywhere near $7m anymore. And that's right now - you can't expect him to be the same guy at 39 or 40 and that's why a deal like 4 years/22.5 million could be a disaster down the road.
