lol. How can anyone call the best pure goal scorer of all time the 3rd most important player on their team? Surprised you didn't rank him behind Smith, Gillies, Goring, Nystrom, and Sutter as well.
Hey look we all love Iginla, but he isn't even in the same realm as a Mike Bossy. Top 30 wingers of all time sounds about right, maybe top 20, but there are clearly many better wingers all-time than Iginla.
Bleacher Report isn't the best place to use, but they had Iginla ranked 53rd all time as of 2010

Surely you can find many better wingers ahead of him on their list.
Do you know how many times Bossy had less than 50 goals in his career? One time, in his last year before he retired. 9 out of 10 seasons he scored more than 50 goals, and 5 times he scored more than 60. Insane numbers in such a short career.
