I love Conny, but the fact he's the best centre we can think of that's every played with Iggy proves the point. He was a legit NHL #2 centre for some seasons, and a 3rd line centre for some as well. Basically a 2b centre is the best the Flames have ever given Iginla. Maybe that's the debatable, but what's not debatable is that Iginla has NEVER played with a legit #1, so the comment stands. Iginla has never played with a good centre.
oh and this is the post I am referencing. Langkow 2b... laugh. Conroy is a 2b center, Olli is a 1b center, Langkow is a 1b center (Langkow is a much better player then Olli despite "points")
