And I still don't see how you can complain about the rebuild not happening sooner AND suggest Iginla should still be here.

I don't think he fits in with the team now both from his perspective and the teams perspective and I don't think they should bring him back.
But I do think that if he was here the team would still be doing the exact same things, he would be "buying into" what the coaches are teaching and the team would be a slightly better team based on the fact he is better than all of our forwards and possibly all of our players.
But considering the team is rebuilding having a 37 year old being a key part of the offense makes little sense as the team should be trying to get younger guys to fill those roles and the slight improvement we get from him on the ice in the short term likely hurts long term development of other guys.
