We traded Doug Gilmour, Joe Neweindyk, Gary Roberts & Theoren Fleury.
I believe these players were just as good as Iginla.
If all these players played on the Flames as long as Jarome has, I believe they would have come close, equaled, or exceeded Iginla's point totals.
One thing they did do for Calgary is bring a cup back with them from Montreal in 1989.
Sad to say it, but Iginla returned from Tampa Bay empty handed. He was a non-factor in Game 7.

While I can't disagree with much in this post, I think it's important to note that the Flames drafted 3 of the 4 players you list here. The Flames also need to find a team to pilfer good players from, much like the Blues in the 1980's.
It's also interesting that you note Montreal in this post, considering they are the last Canadian team to win a cup. In the last 8 SCF's, 4 of those teams have been canadian and come up empty every time.
