I don't know if he will win the cup, but like a previous poster said I really didn't have LA as the number 1 contender the years they won. Who wins the cup seems to really depend on which teams can get hot at the right time.

I know the cup is a huge thing, like fantastically huge, but is it worth 10 million? It's easy to say from the sofa without that choice, but nearing the end of a career Iggy has the next 50 years to think about. A 1 in 5 chance to win compared to a 1 in 18 for 10 million extra is really not a hard choice when you think of providing for your family. A cup is what they all strive for, but at 37 there is a shadow of life after hockey.
