Iginla would have way more value than that because teams bringing him in aren't going to ask him to play with B grade talent and to be the main (sometimes only) source of offense for the team.
Put Iginla on a team like LA, Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston and he isn't a goalslumping twilight years Iginla but a great scoring winger that finishes chance created by players like Giroux, Crosby, Richards and Seguin. His value to a team that doesn't expect him to get the puck, create the scoring chance, score, fight, hit, lead, pass, kiss babies, play defense, coach the team etc. would be much better than it is here.
