Sounds reasonable. Supposing he's still playing (and still capable) if and when the time comes, I wouldn't object if Iginla returned to Calgary to play a similar role to Dave Andreychuk on the Lightning in '03-04.

However, I think the odds are long against that. It's likely that this rebuild will not yield a team that can make a run for the Stanley Cup, and if it does, it's likely to take several years longer than Iginla has left in his career.
