As a guy who is always cheering for Iggy, I do hope this serves as a wakeup call for him to get his act together.

I am not really sure it has anything to do with him getting his act together and everything to do with him just being too old for an elite level team. There is one forward older than him and 3 (Thornton, Sharp, Kunitz) even close to his age.
St. Louis and Thornton are pure skill guys who have an easier time keeping their game at a high level and Sharp and especially Kunitz are long shots to make it.
This is a team for guys in their 20's and no shame in a 34 year old Iginla (who likely makes every other countries team) in not being included.
