The notion that Iginla was some sort of magnet for attracting UFAs is overstated. That may have been true in 2006 and 2007, but it hasn't been for some time now. Sure, some of his buddies have come back to play with him. But guys like Hudler and Wideman signed here for the same reason most UFAs sign - for the money.
