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.
If he decides to stay he has to accept that he's now a secondary guy & should be paid accordingly. IF he were to stay I could see him taking something around $5 million to stay. We still would need a primary scoring threat to take the reins, which I suppose Glenncross has done to a certain extent.
