It sucks to write that

If Iggy was in a Yzerman or Sakic situation then I'd probably feel differently. Those guys weren't counted on to provide offence at the end of their careers the same way that Iginla is with this team. I'd really like to see Iggy retire as a Flame but its just nit realistic.
Even if we rent him out and he comes back he'll still bear the expectations to carry this team. Not fair and unrealistic. Totally agree with you, time to close this chapter.
