Almost every player disappears at times. Not everyone can be Crosby or Toews and make a difference in nearly every game they play. When was the last time Iginla was a consistent performer? Probably around the same time Ovechkin was one 5-6 years ago.
I know in Iginla's case age is a major cause, but he has been invisible in countless games over the last few years as well. He's still making 7 mill too, so not a major difference in salary.
