You're basically penalizing Iginla for playing in Calgary instead of Detroit or New York.

why would I do that? Im a Flames fan.
EVEN if Iggy was the best in 2004 that doesnt make him "what I consider a superstar". Iggy was and remains a very good player....the very closest thing to a superstar without crossing that line. He simply did not transcend the sport or change it any way. A great power forward who when in his prime led with pugnacity and desire. Players hated playing against him and he did make the Flames a better team...but he couldn't do it himself, and THAT is the reason there were 100s of threads on this board begging management to get him a #1 C and 100s more belaying the fact that his slow starts always killed the team.
