I think Iggy made a mistake. In my own humble and ignorant opinion he should have played the mercenary on cheap 1 year deals until he won the Cup and then settled somewhere and earned his $16M.

I honestly believe he could have had both but settled on the sure thing.
I agree that Colorado wasn't the best choice as a Cup contender, but they are FAR from the worst choice and it wouldn't necessarily be a surprise to see them win in the next couple years, but it would be a tough go.

If he really wanted the cup he could have signed 1 year 1 mil with an LA or Chicago ala Brad Richards, but Iggy doesn't have the benefit of a 60 million dollar buyout (or whatever it was).
