I hope Iginla gets traded soon though, the way this fan base has seemingly turned on one of the few stars this team has had in almost two decades is a little disappointing.

He has won a World Junior where he was a major contributing player and an Olympic gold (twice) where he was a major contributing player, but the Memorial Cups are a little overblown. The first one he was a 3rd or 4th liner who was not a major contributor to the team and even the second one there were much larger contributors on that team (Tucker, Doan, Domenichelli, even Tyson Nash). Neither of those two teams for what it is worth were really his teams.
The argument that he won everywhere works a bit better with a Scott Neidermayer who was a major contributor on all the teams that he won with.
Either way I see him as a great player and an average leader.
