Well it's all speculation but I have to disagree. He signed his last deal for a little less than NY signed Drury for the year before. A little less than Vanek was offer sheeted for. Lecavalier was putting up similar numbers the next year when he signed his ridiculous contract. I think Iginla would have made at least 1M more a year, probably 2M if he went UFA.
