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.

getting off the topic of Iggy for a second to address your point re Dion:
Phaneauf is captain of the most valuable franchise in hockey. He was obtained for spare parts, heck I would classify them below that: useless bags of meat.
If you think Dion was not worth more than the Flames got for him, then you are a fool.
If everyone wants what you have because of a false impression, you get no bonus points for setting the record straight and taking less. This is sport. Like a game, each trade has a winner and a loser.
Iggy is worth what someone will trade for him. You don't know until you try, what that is. I have no idea how you test the waters without nuking the fanbase though.
