Jarome's time in Calgary had come to an end. I don't think he wanted to be in the rebuild.

I completely agree, but I think he should have stuck around on short deals on legit contenders rather than rolling the dice with Colorado for cash.

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).

They are far from the worst choice, I agree, but they are equally far from the best choice.
Iggy's career earnings of $84M is hardly something to sneeze at either.
