Iginla is irreplaceable to the fans I'd say; it will be a long time before we forget him. But honestly, this team is losing with or without him. I'd say draft the best player you possibly can (think Jones or Mackinnon), and hope he fills that void sooner rather than later. I think the fans accept that.
