I'm emotionally torn. I would love to see Iginla win the cup, and the Flames were classy enough to let him pick the deal.

But the return for Iginla is terrible, what is going to be a 30th pick, combined with a 3rd round player and a 5th round player that are not really anything that you build the future around and that we probably won't see in a best case scenario for years.

By being classy and basically letting Iginla make his own deal, they literally let Iginla burn this franchise to the ground on the way out the door. We were hoping that we would get assets that could kick off a rebuild, instead it looks like we got the old hope and prayer. This franchise didn't add anything great or incoming to the prospect base unless that 30th pick yields gold.

I want to see Iginla to win a cup, I think he's a classy guy, but he didn't do any flavors for the Flames today in terms of even leaving us, the fans who have probably spent millions on his jerseys and cheered him every step of the way.

We the fans who lived through the young guns era thought that was bad . . . well children that's going to be a walk in the park compared to what we're going to go through.

I don't know if I have the heart or the patience to live through that level of ineptitude again.

So long Iggy good luck, don't look back.
