I'm thinking Iggy. I wonder if he would have risen to the leadership and take-a-team-on-my-back style if he had been on a team with other legitimate scoring threats? I think much of what makes Iggy great in the eyes of us Flames fans has to do with him being, at many times, the only player of value on the Flames.

I'm just thinking, his role on the Pens is going to be so much different, I just wonder if he had always been on a team with that type of talent, would he be the same character of player?
I actually look at Iggy very differently. His best individual shifts were 2004 but he rose to shine among Olympic talent by producing with them. He's shown he can be great among great talent.
