I'm a huge Flames fan, and I will admit that I am also a fan of Iginla period. Somewhere over the course of the last 18 years he's turned me into a fan of his that extends beyond the jersey. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Flames fan first, but I also cheer for Iggy to succeed.
Regardless of the angle you take, Flames fan or Iggy fan, it will be a good thing if he gets traded. Don't get me wrong, a very sad day because it will be the end of a great era, but unfortunately one that will end with neither the Flames or Iggy accomplishing their goal of a cup in Calgary. But, a good day for both Flames and Iggy fans. For the Flames, getting the best return they can for Iggy is the right new start for this team, and for Iggy, a chance to reach his goal of a cup. It is truly a win win situation for both. Unfortunately, there is no longer synergy in the Flames / Iggy relationship, as neither can accomplish there goals if they stay together.
I will cheer for Iggy to win a cup this year, and be excited for the fresh start and the building of a new chance at the cup in Calgary.
