You are again mischaracterizing what some of us are thinking.
We are not singlehandedly blaming him for everything and running him out of town. Only a few posters are saying that and they do not represent the entire fanbase.
What doesn't make sense in your post is that Iginla himself has said he does not want to be part of a rebuild. So your bolded sentence above is a not a valid scenario.
We're not trading players for "blood". We're trading older players for younger players/picks to improve the long term health of the team and to give us a chance to compete again in the future.
This team is old. This team is sucking. This team needs to rebuild. Iginla does not want to be part of a rebuild. Add it all up and it makes sense to trade Iginla. You just aren't accepting the reality of the situation. I understand why people might not be able to emotionally accept it but there it is.
What is annoying is that you assume people are "running him out of town" or "want blood". Quit generalizing about the entire fanbase, you obviously don't understand or know what we're thinking.
