You're right... Iginla was always somewhat of a hard bargainer, and was well paid for his services. In addition, the Flames always went out of their way to find someone to play with him during his whole career. Looking back, probably the best player, that would have complimented him, was Savard...and we went and gave him away for a 2nd round draft pick. In summary, I don't think the Flames owe Iginla anything, and vice versa.
