To me this has been the issue with Iginla for years, he needs someone on his line who can carry the puck into the zone.
Ollie was close, he actually was a north south player, but when he went Iggy's line, he tried to change his game to being a passer, which he ain't. Tanguay is a great passer, but not adept at carrying the puck into the zone. Which always leaves it up to Iggy - then if/when he gets in the zone, everyone is standing around staring at him, and there are no other dangerous players so opposing teams just put double coverage on Iggy. This is why Cammy sometimes works with Iginla, being it gives him a legitimate scoring threat.
