How would most of you casual/hardcore fans feel about Iginla retiring as an Edmonton Oiler instead of a Calgary Flames? I am saying this because my buddy is friends with a friend who's wife hangs out with Iginla's wife regularly. The two couples went out to dinner one night and chatted up.
My buddies friend decided to ask Iggy to see if there was gonna be hockey this season (This dinner happened before the Lockout.). Iggy responded back by saying that he hopes there will be hockey and that maybe one day before he retire's, he would like to play for the Oilers for 1 season and retire there.
Since Iginla is from Edmonton, I guess it does make sense that he wants to play for the Oilers for a season and retire, he did not mention anything about trying to a win a cup there, just wanted to retire as an Oilers.
And since Iggy is a UFA this season, does he peace out and sign with Edmonton?
Remember, This is not coming from me, I am just quoting what my buddy has told me.

That sounds like a typical Iggy, nice guy response to your Oiler fan friend. He's too classy to say " No way f### the Oilers"
