Also known as: “The Guy Lafleur.”

Cons: In Iginla’s case, it would mean playing for the Oilers four or five years from now, and would he really want to play for a team that was still in the middle of a rebuild?
The difference is the way I remember it Guy's coach, Jacques Lemaire ( that lover of offensive hockey) told Guy that he could look forward to times in popcorn row and limited ice time, thus kind of forcing Guy's retirement. He reconsidered a while later, came back and good for him.
