What a mess those last three years were. It's what happens when you let a player get bigger than the team.

Totally disagree. Brent Sutter inherited a perennial playoff team with star players that still had great years left in them, and ran that team into the ground. Terrible coach. Pinning it on Iginla is laughable. Brent was terrible at using players to their strengths and seemingly stripped the team of any sense of joy of playing the game. His system was ineffective and gave no room for players to actually play the game creatively. He almost killed Bouwmeester's career. The list goes on.
