After Iggy, there's hardly anyone else to look up to for the new group of kids coming in. The names that I've mentioned includes those 3 awful years with Brent Sutter even if some of those players looked good this season. Tanguay, well Mike Keenan drove him out of town, and Sutter should've left him out of town. What the Flames really need is to get rid of management - meaning Feaster and Ken King. Sutter should have been fire a long time ago and now, I think Ken King should go. Along with Feaster. Enough is enough. Iggy is still the best player on the team albeit he's one of the oldest. That kind of tells you what this team is. If management was doing their jobs years ago, the Flames would've had a number one centerman along with the best power forward, the best goalie in the world, and an awesome big defense with depth. Cripes, this team is now a pushover. On the ice, Iggy right now is the biggest Flames player towering over almost every player on the team in muscle size and height. This makes Jackman look like a joke!
Iggy's never the problem and he isn't gonna be a one man solution for the team either.

They have spent 10 years looking for a big #1 centerman... although Jokinen did not work out, they tried and tried and tried and tried. getting Jokinen was a savvy move (the first time). They tried to get O'ryley... Things dont always work out. There are 15 other teams constantly looking for that number one guy in the middle.
Also, "dead beats"? Glencross has one of the best value contracts in the league, Jbo is maybe the most sought after d-man right now, Jackman is not here to pot 20 goals... I'm not sure I understand why you call them all "dead beats"?
