Iginla. Franchise leader in games played, points, goals, and 2nd to Al MacInnis' amazing career of assists. Face of the franchise and captain for a long time. First ballot hall of famer. Put his team on his back single-handedly in 04. Put up a crazy amount of points without any legitimate help and often facing the other team's top defenders regularly. This isn't even bringing up his international success.
Iginla's career could have been even bigger in another franchise. Nieuwendyk was an excellent player, but blended in wherever he went and wasn't quite the same impact player and leader once he left Calgary.
