Losing Iginla will be a marketing blow, no matter how he leaves. He's been the face of the franchise for a lot of years. The best way to get the fans back is to build a winning team. If the best offer on the table at the deadline is a late first round pick, they need to take it, period. If they turn it down, because they think it will make them look bad, then we have no hope.
