I don't even care about a trade or return at this point. I'm at the point where I hope Iginla signs with another team in the offseason regardless of him staying or being moved at the deadline. It would be the best for Iginla to be paired up with elite line mates on a cup challenger where he could be appreciated by another fanbase. It would also be best for the Flames to turn the page and begin building a new foundation based on new leadership which is something that is never going to happen as long as #12 is on the roster.

My fear hedges on the Flames ownership's arena plans to which they may feel the need Iginla's face to sell and Iginla's reluctance to move his family. If the Flames and Iggy feel they need each other it's going to be more of the same abysmal hockey and hopelessness that accompanies being a Flames fan.
