I think the team is on board with this, and just saying all the right things.

I can see Iginla coming back for a final month or two before his jersey raising but I cannot see any way he leaves the Flames and then comes back in a meaningfull way unless Feaster turns the team around by next year and they are a playoff contendor, the last thing he is going to want to do is play for a season or two on a playoff/cup contendor then spend 3 years back in a rebuild (a rebuild that will be barely started at the point he would be deciding to return)
