What funny is that if Iggy wasn't a superstar then the league had no superstars for several years. Superstars don't need to be in the GOAT discussion. The Category above superstar is generational talent. I think you could have a debate on wether Iggy was a generational talent but both he and Sakic fail to meet that standard. But there is no debate that Iggy was a superstar. For another sport analogy was Peyton Manning a superstar before he won his superbowl? Was Lebron a superstar before he won his NBA championship? The answer is yes, these were the best players at there position at the time. That makes you a superstar.
And remember NO ONE scored more goals over the course of Iggys carreer than Iggy. NO ONE. The only one close is Hossa.
