In his first three years back in Sweden, Loob led the Elitserien in scoring each time twice won the Swedish equivalent to the Ted Lindsay Award. I don't think that is a case of "mystique". Imagine if Iginla retired after 2001-02. That's about what happened to us when Loob left. But you are right, Loob doesn't rank near Iginla, only because Iginla was
that damn good.
