While some may be demonizing Iginla, I think most aren't. Most people want him traded for some variety of these reasons:
- he is an asset decreasing in value
- he is a UFA
- he is likely worth more to the franchise going forward if traded for futures than he is by himself
- the franchise is too centered on him as necessary for this franchise's success
- it's just time for a change
I'd be surprised if anybody here didn't like the guy and didn't appreciate everything he's brought to the Flames for the past 18 years.
