Iginla is still the best forward on this team, so I don't see how re-signing him makes the team less competitive. It's not like the UFA market this year is brimming with players that are better than him, so we wouldn't be limiting ourselves in that sense either.

Based on the lack of interest by Iggy to sign with the Flames, I think that he's already looking forward to leaving this organization either by trade or free agency.
I think there's no interest by him in being a mentor during a rebuild with no hope
