I believe Nieuwendyk made Langenbruner a lot better. Probably not to the same extent Iginla did with Conroy/Cammalleri.

I was too young to see Nieuwy circa Flames... Iginla, I was proud he was a Flame. Pre-2007, Iginla was a great 2 way player (2006, 9th in Selke voting?).... played the PK, everything. After Mike Keenan came in, Iginla was a one-way player. Brent Sutter, he was indifferent. By the time Bob Hartley came, the tires were falling off and Iginla was really in a shadow of his former self.

If you ask me about 2001-2007 Iginla, I would say very few match up to that... only Jagr, Forsberg was really comparable. Todd Bertuzzi too while with the Canucks, but I guess many arn't a fan of him... so Bertuzzi is no slight as for a while, he was a premium power forward. But post-Mike Keenan... I think significantly less of his play....
