I think it's brutal that posters are claiming Iginla is/was a secondary piece...what a load of crap...have people already forgotten how good he was?!!

There was a window (albeit brief) where many considered him the best player in the league...and the only reason he didn't lead a team to a cup is because the ref didn't see the puck go in.

It's true wingers are not usually the Drivers, but Iginla proved there are exceptions ( as did Howe, Jagr and Richard before him).
