I said this in a post a while ago. I think it that the owners are afraid if they trade Iginla and start a rebuild the average flames fan won't support the flames anymore. Which to be honest is a valid point. The average fan is not as educated on the flames situation as us cpers and probably still assume Iginla is a top notch scorer and that the flames coaching or some other reason has prevented the flames from the playoffs. Its unfortunate but Calgary is oil city and the flames are still able to sell overpriced tickets to many fans who are being fooled by the management team saying they are going to make the playoffs.
