Iggy would sell jerseys. Even his nickname (Iggy) is marketable.

What I mean is people will possibly buy his jersey rather than buying a Malkin or Crosby jersey. He won't generate new revenue on his own. Maybe if he's seen as a major reason for winning the cup and is re-signed to a cap friendly contract, I can see it next year. But that's a big IF.
