There are a lot of players who do not get to play with elite players.

Iginla by and large (especially since the lockout) has usually played with first line players, not superstars but legitimate first line hockey players.
Well i think you hit the nail on the head right there! If Dupuis and Kunitz do so well with Crosby, how well will Jerome Iginla do? The fact is when you assess Iginla, its not how much is he worth to the Flames, but how much is he worth to another team with a great center?

If you are Jay Feaster talking to Ray Shero the question should be: How much would you pay for a Stanley Cup?
