Sorry if my opinion differs from yours but there are far better Franchise Players out there than Iginla that played on Canadian teams.
Naslund, Linden, Alfredsson, Sundin all come to mind. These players made it past the 1st round more than once!
Sorry, I am a die hard Flames fan, but I refuse to sugar coat this team and more importantly its best Players inadequacies. I refuse to toe the 'Iginla can do no wrong' line.

There's a difference between saying "Iginla can do no wrong" and having a selective memory about his contribution to the team. Your arguments have no basis in reality. You should go back and watch some of the 2004 playoffs including the series against Tampa Bay.
Like I said I'm not against trading Iginla but coming on here and trying to diminish his overall accomplishments as part of your argument is nonsense.
