The biggest reason I wouldn't want Iginla back on the Flames is he sucks now.
9 years ago absolutely dominant
6 years ago great offensively but playing one way
3 years ago strong offense but noticeably weak elsewhere
Now good offense but so weak 200' and on the boards that he's a true liability
There was a reason the guy played like 10 minutes in the elimination game. He was probably legitimately their ~10th best forward. He's honestly not worth more than 2, at MOST 3 mil a year, but really mainly as a PP specialist.
I own 2 Flames jerseys: #12 and #2. Watched pretty much both of their entire careers. Iginla had a period of unrivaled dominance, but there is no doubt in my mind that MacInnis was the greater player for the course of career through the end in StL.
