I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I wanted to see (perhaps a poll, mods?) how people felt about supporting Iginla, if he were to be traded. By support it can mean many things: cheer, watch his game, purchase merchandise, etc.

For me, personally, I will. If he ends up going to the Penguins (or which ever team), I'll be the first one in line to get a new Jarome Iginla jersey. I'll watch his games and cheer him on.

There haven't been a lot of past Flames that I've wished nothing but success for, when they get traded. But I think Iginla is outside the norm. I want Iginla to do what he thinks is best for him, and if that means going to a cup contender, then so be it.

I won't hold it against him, or the management of the team, if he gets traded. I think he's done enough for the Flames. He's gone over and beyond, what is expected of someone when they're the face of a franchise, NHL ambassador and a captain. That's obviously my opinion, but I'm sure others share it.

Let's not get things mixed up. My allegiance is to the Flaming C and who ever wears it. But I will cheer Iginla on, no matter where he goes.

Mods, can we get a poll?
