Prior to last season, both he and the Flames management had each other convinced that they could win with the lineup they had. Iginla is as much to blame for the delay in trading him as anyone else involved.
· I don't think Kiprusoff would have agreed to a trade at any point. He is an oddball, and while he was ultra competitive, it always seemed that he had a different set of priorities, and didn't seem to care much about proving anything to anyone by winning a championship. In the end, we have no idea about either player, but I think it is a bit short sighted to pine for what could have been, when there is virtually no evidence to suggest that things would have been any different.
