Frankly, CliffFletcher is raising a really valuable point.
For teams where cohesive team play might be the only advantage they have over a competing team, is it worth it to add a guy who may detract from that? I don't know, but it likely lowers the value you're willing to shell out.

that was Babcock being stubborn. Iginla ended up scoring more goals than any other Canadian in spite of Babcock messing around with Iginla. Nash was the problem and once Babcock figured it out Iginla was never the problem in 2010.
If Iginla doesn't out work the USA in the corner and make the pass to Crosby. Babcock is the one that would be wearing egg on his face. Along with Luongo would have been wearing the goat horns for caving in the 3rd.
Iginla saved Babcocks bacon and turned around 3 of those games with key goals even before the final.
