Good article, but I don't agree with the premise that a rebuild is only real if Iginla gets traded or the poll question.

I think the flames started rebuilding 18 months ago. I don't think they have 'refused' anything.

Last season the trade iginla contemplation started in earnest, for both sides, which was the right time. It is only natural that heading into his UFA year it would become a genuine topic and a real possibility. But it was and remains his call. The flames are certainly not clamouring for him to stay with public statements of support like last year.

It is decision time on Iginla. I think the team has made their call. He will make his.
