I just think the most positive change we saw when Iginla left, was that we no longer had a player who had the power to say, I want to play with Alex, regardless of how things have been going.

I was arguing that it was not his fault he did it, he never should have been aloud to do it in the first place.

But to liken that to a guy who would not buy into a coach preaching work-ethic is fallacy.

I believe Iginla would have had no problem working as hard a Hartley expects, but management allowed him to insulate his friends, and that became a problem.

(This is just what I believe, mostly because I just can't believe one of the fittest people around would have a work ethic issue.)
