The the thing is, as much as the owners believe keeping Iginla will ensure fan support, the total opposite is true.
It's unfair to Iginla, it really is, but the end won't be good unless ownership makes the decision to shift the organizational mentality from the status quo to that of a new direction, face and identity.
I have no poll to prove it, but my gut feeling is that fans are ready for the organizational shift. The longer this plays out, the more incensed fans will get.
...of course, to deflect the anger, ownership could point the finger at the GM, which, if history is any indication, will appease most.
