Jarome Iginla has earned the right to remain in Calgary for the remainder of the year if he chooses to, though a no trade clause will not hold him immune to criticism if his decision ultimately ######s the eventual overhaul of the club. If he wants a chance at a cup this season, or beyond, he better make it known that he wants to be moved and get on with it. If he does not seek or agree to a trade and then signs elsewhere in the offseason, he will be deservedly roasted for this decision. Its his choice to pursue such a course, but even as an ardent fan of the man, and the player, I personally would view him in a different light if he chooses this course.
The only way there will be bad guys in this situation is if Iginla is not dealt and signs elsewhere. If he values his legacy in Calgary, he is screwing himself into the center of the earth if he doesn't ask for, or agree to, a trade.
