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.

Yeah I know some here think I'm an Iginla hater which is far from the truth. I simply am a Flames fan first and it's been my belief for a few years now that this team can't move forward as long as Iginla is on the roster. As long as he's here the team will continue to flounder. Sure things may get worse in the immediate future after he's traded but if this team ever wants to get back to relevance it's going to have to be with a new leadership core.
