He focuses on goal scoring, he's padding his stats. He focuses on overall team play, he's washed up.

To me this is the best Iggy has looked in years. Having him playing on the PK seems to really help keep Iggy engaged in the game. He's playing a solid 2 way game and leads the team in shots by a lot (16 vs 10 for Tanguay who's second)
Normally, Iggy get 1 goal for every 8-9 shots, so with his normal shooting percentage he'd have 2 goals already. If he keeps this shot rate up (5.3/game), his shooting percentage will eventually regress to his mean (11-12.5%), and Iggy could end up with 28-32 goals this season. Of course, he's probably not going to keep getting 5+ shots per game, but if he does, he might surprise all of us.
I'm excited to see how he looks with Cervenka. Cervenka looks like he might have the skill to really help the top line.
