Iggy will play until he is 40 or so. He has publicly stated that a few times. How productive he will be remains to be seen.
As a huge Iginla fan, I still honestly think 700 goals is a stretch. It would have been a no brainer if he didnt miss the 04/05 season due to lockout (would have been at least a 30 goal year probably 40-50 though!). Also half a season last year, he most likely would have finished with 30 or more as well.
That is about 40-60 goals at least knocked off his totals because of lockouts. If he hits 700, he needs to play until he is 40, hitting 30 goals each season. It is possible, but its a stretch.
You can never rule out scoring 30 goals with this guy. He is a goal scorer through and through. He is showing now signs of slowing down from not scoring at least 30. The 50 goal Iggy days are over though. Nonetheless, the guy is a machine! Love the guy.
