Couldn't agree more. If we don't move him this turns into the leafs with Sundin. People didn't want to move nieuwendyk back in the day and look what happened there. We traded an aging asset for a player that would go on to be our star player for over a decade

Iginla can always return later in his career (hopefully with a Stanley Cup ring) and close out a season with the Flames. I'd hate to lose Iginla but the team comes first.
