There is lots to love about the Avs young core. Especially because it is compared to an oiler rebuild and looked at as the "right way" in that comparison (ie. Avs inherently = Edmonton no good).

I'm surprised that people are acting like its a sin that Iggy is on the Avs now. Yes, they were once a division rival, but not once have the Flames ever had a playoff series against them, and I don't see them as a hated rival the same way that I see Edmonton or Vancouver.
I don't think anyone is going to be cheering for the Avs over the Flames, but if they make the playoffs and the Flames don't, I won't have any issues wanting Iginla to go a long way.
Unless Iggy beats the crap out of one of the Flames in the regular season.
Gio vs Iggy fight will happen this season.
