That's true but it probably would not have been with any of the top 4. If Iggy left Calgary as a ufa and wanted $5 million a season from the "big 4" there is no way they could have afforded it.
I still think there are a couple of teams that will give him $5 million. I also think there are a couple of teams, if he takes $3 million, that Iggy will be able to get 35+ goals with next year.
