I never knew the Flames were in the mix for him

Ya, this is a good trade the Flames didn't make. Strictly because of the money the Flames we not willing to pay for players over the next 10 years.
He would have signed entry level, put up crazy numbers, not got hurt, demanded a stupid salary. The Flames would have balked and traded him for a package of somebodies, and we all know how well we do on those.
At least we know Iggy came out of this timeline. In the "Flames get Lindros" timeline, I see him playing here for 3 years and bolting for NYC/TOR. Flames stuck with a package of who knows what...
