The discussion needs to happen soon I agree. If he is not going to resign 100% then the only option is to pull the chute, but if he's willing to sign a Doan like contract and help with the rebuild I am all for it he is still a great player to have on your team and he has mentioned before that he could play till 40.
You never know how fast or how slow rebuilds take. He's a good player tht can help any team I know that.
On the other hand most every other player is on the trade block.
I'm not stupid enough to think Iginla might not want this, but I just don't think we need to push him out the door if he was willing to sign
