Expectations of the return are way too high. He was only on pace for 60 points this year over an 82 game schedule, the lowest total since 98-99. Add on he's 35 and UFA and you're not going to get a spectacular amount.
Scary thing is, the Flames got nearly the same amount that the Thrashers got for Marian Hossa and Iginla is having a worse season and is older than Hossa was at the time of the trade.
