Actually I liked what Grant said on our radio show ... "the worst case scenario isn't Iginla walking for nothing, it's Iginla signing a 3 year extension at 6+ per season"
and that isn't to say anything against Iginla, at all. But as long as he's here as the guy the team will continue to sit in this flux and not move on. If Iginla took a 4m per year deal to be a secondary guy, then that's better. But I fear as long as he's the face of the franchise they'll continue to use elmer's glue and tape to try and get him in the playoffs.
