The organization needs to move on asap, keeping Iginla for a few more years while trying their best to squeak into 8th spot and a 1st round loss is so unappealing.
They need to start building around a younger, faster, cheaper core. I'd love to see Iggy win a cup, but it sure ain't happening here. A trade would be best for both sides.

Yup.
I had no problem with the Flames trying to make it work with Iginla and Kiprusoff - they deserved that (and it might have worked).
But (unless womething unbelievable happens in the next month or two) it hasn't worked and time is up.
Time to try something different.
Actually, there's another factor for me as well: I like some of the recent additions, I think there is something to work with there and they are younger and more useful than the supporting cast was a couple years ago. There is a core group of guys to work with, beyond the Iginla and friends group.
