I don't think he'd be making player requests but who knows.

EVERY top line player in the league would be asked by their GM about potential players coming back...its common. What EE, Eddy and others suggest however is that Iginla was the one pulling the strings on who the GM went and got...which is so beyond absurd I dont even know how to respond.
The conversations happen all the time where a GM will ask a player "how is he to play against, is he tough, etc etc"...when a guy on your team has played with another guy in the past questions like "what kind of guy is he"..."how is he in the room"....all very common and unique to no one club or player.
