Do you think Butler and Byron have improved the Flames?
Both were garbage returns for the Flames.
I like the sports romance of Iggy remaining a Flame for life, but what bothers me is does he still honestly think the Flames should pay him $7m a year and will that dirtbag Meehan demand it from the Flames.
I'm more worried that the Flames will trade Iginla for a garbage return.
They don't seem to negotiate their player assets to well. They have failed at it.
They should not trade Iginla unless they recieve a 1st round pick, a 2nd line Center and a prospect that they covet.
If a team is not willing to play ball, then ef them you don't just give him away for HC eyesores that the GM wants to cast off.
Just like TOR and BUF both did.

Maybe they were garbage returns because they were both Garbage / over rated players?
Many Flames fans on this board are notorious for over rating Flames players. Its natural.
Iginla won't net us anything spectacular in return because he is old and not a proven goal scorer anymore.
And there is no excuses for his inability to score. He plays the most forward minutes out of all the forwards and gets the most Power Play Time. There's plenty of Flames ahead of him in goals and points and they don't have a true #1 Center or a playmaker setting them up.
