I couldn't disagree more. I don't think that playing in Vancouver and with the Sedins will hurt Iginla's production, but based on how the Sedins have played in the past two seasons, he will not be the happy beneficiary of gift-wrapped passes for sure goals either. Furthermore, despite the long-standing myth, the Sedins
do not have instant chemistry with every other player they play with. They have helped Anson Carter, Alexandre Burrows and Mikael Samuelsson to career years, but the list of successful players tried with the Sedins grows pretty spotty beyond these three exceptional cases. The Sedins look like they are slowly but surely starting to diminish, and are no longer top-ten NHL forwards. I suspect that three ageing, former superstars on the first-line is hardly a recipe for success for any team, the Canucks notwithstanding.
