No Flames coach ever will have the balls to put Iginla on the 2nd/3rd line, ever.
Problem is that the reason for Iginla's greatness was his ability to physically dominate and his elite shot. Once these crucial aspects of his game detoriate (even) more (especially physical strength) there will be nothing left to make him an effective player. He'll be frustrated (even more) and i highly doubt that will do any good as far as leadership goes either.

The longer we keep Iginla, the longer we are wasting valuable minutes on him so he can play 1st line and powerplay minutes, and the longer Baertschi will be forced to toil in the AHL because we dont have room to give him an opportunity to play good quality minutes.
