Compare that to how Nieuwendyk performed on elite teams.

Considering Iginla's age when he was finally traded to a contender it would be fair to compare that to Niuwendyk's time with NJ.
He had 1 point in the playoffs during his first year with the Devils, his second year he finished tied for 9th on the team and was -2 while not playing any of the SCF games. Niuwendyk was not a member of the team the following year.
It's fair to say Iginla was underwhelming, but those words could also be used to describe Niuwendyk with NJ.
