Things could have and should have ended up better for both sides although Iginla still has a chance to at least get a cup even if it is at a reduced role and I still hope he gets it as I hold nothing against the man now he's gone.
The last four Flames seasons have been essentially a waste as the organization accomplished nothing all because of the sole focus on one player over the entire team.
Anyway this isn't the thread to discuss this so I won't go on any further but if there's anything more annoying than posters taking shots at Iginla it's his White Knights coming to his rescue. He's gone and we don't have to argue about him anymore.

Yeah, take it to the "Flames have the top line C, depth down the middle, and tough to beat D but top line RW is the problem" thread.
Iggy did a lot of good work on the boards here to no avail on many an occasion and backchecked often as well, and has had a lot of non-PP offensive creativity in Pitt. His defensive acumen dwarfs Malkin's, but he is of course a winger.
But it is always good to come in for the "Iggy sucks" circle jerk.
