Watching last night, this team has really gotten used to losing. They've accepted it and they know that their goal is 8th place.
Its time for the people that are okay with that to head for the exits and get some new faces that want to win.
If Iggy is one of them then so be it. I'm not for or against trading Iggy, I'm for changing this team's attitude. I'd rather the Flames not trade Iggy becuase hey, who doesnt love Iggy? Not to mention the fact that the return he'd get at this stage as an aging rental veteran player may not be worth it.

That's what I've been saying too. It's funy because a lot of the players takl about how they've been close for the past few years and that they're almost there... Most of our guys are on the downward swing of their careers and not getting better with time. They aren't getting closer, they're getting further away and they don't realize it because they've become too complacent. A change needs to come because they aren't good enough. I'm going to hate to see Iggy go, but he won't be here forever, if they don't realize a change is needed then something is wrong with them.
