Essentially yes, if for no other reason than to get back young talent when assets like Iggy are still worth something. That time has probably come and gone however.

Who? As much as we criticize him, the fact that nobody has been able to take that job from him speaks volumes. This is pro sports. You don't lose your job just because you get old. And if anyone was undeniable enough to take iggy's role, the captain would be on the 2nd line so fast it would make your head spin.
Iginla is the teams best player and their best rw. And that is why they're not a playoff team, and it's why they look like they're heading for Nathan MacKinnon.
