But either way Iginla or not the team would not have gone into the full rebuild any sooner. No team would have. Teams don't rebuild until they are forced to, it is never a choice.

I agree with others that Iggy can not be blamed for the mess the flames are in. He had said for the last bunch of years that if ownership wanted to go in another direction he would waive. Really can't ask more than that from him.
I do not agree with the bolded part. If ownership had come to their senses 2 years ago they would have traded Iggy and started a rebuild/retool. It should not take 4 years out of the playoffs to figure they had to go in another direction. Ownership held on to the dream of winning a cup with Iggy.
