That's fine. But as a lifelong Flames fan, I want to see the long-term longevity and success of the Flames hockey club rather than watch a guy fulfill his dream winning the Cup. This trade was catered to suit Iginla, and Iginla alone no matter how the butter is spread.
I wish Iggy the best, but this was not a trade that was in the best interest of the club, which is troubling at best to me.
