The double edge sword of having a superstar fixture of your franchise is in full light in this thread. Their enormous influence and presence is valued in the good times and is a significant burden in the bad times. It would seem that everyone from management to ownership to the fanbase were subservient not just to Iginla but to the idea of Iginla's legacy and importance. As a result we took a three year walk in the woods where the idea of a player took the priority over the actual success of the franchise.
