Only a goal scorer and that's it? Just a silly thing to say.

I don't rate occasionally hitting and fighting nearly as important elements as consistent checking and defensive play. And the number of seasons in his career when Iginla consistently finished his checks could be counted on one hand with a couple fingers to spare. When I talk about all-around play, I mean as good without the pick or defending a lead as with the puck.
