Personally, when I think about all the times he could of left us for greener pastures and bigger contracts on teams with better chances of winning - only to stay and re-sign here for less - it make me sad to see so many people turning on him now that he's getting older and not able to play like he once did. He stuck with us, why can't we stick with him?

My fav Flame of all time is Nieuwendyk so i'm definitely not in the "younger" crowd. For myself, I just want this team to start thinking about its future. It has nothing to do with how Jarome has been playing lately. The window of his big value is growing smaller every year and I definitely don't want to lose him for nothing.
A potential trade would benefit Iginla as well, as I don't see him winning a cup with the Flames any time soon.
When we acquired Iggy from Dallas that was one of the saddest days for me as my fav player had been traded. In the long run it helped the team trememdously.
I think the majority of people who want Iginla traded are thinking about the long term plan for the hometown heroes.
