Iginla will remain Captain of this team for years to come.
I have (albeit little) faith that trade deadline will see Calgary do the smart thing and acquire assets to rent Iginla, but his family and passion live here and he will resign in the summer (hopefully with a new piece of jewelry).
Then, years down the road... a young asset Calgary acquired will have stepped up and proven to the the next leader of this squad. Iginla will walk into the steam room and tell him "I want to give you the captaincy" and the kid will respond "Great. I'll take it."
