But trading your most valuable piece for under his value is? No. I agree something has to change, management needs a clean house, just like how Calgary swept house and the culture changed dramatically, this team is night and day compared to a few years ago, and the same needs to happen in Edmonton, but who knows if that'll happen.
And lets not compare Iginla to Hall, two different situations, and to say Iginla was a culture issue is completely wrong.

First I heard he was a locker room issue. I just heard that he was a little immature and spending too much time having a good time off the ice. That was a veteran locker room and there's not many issues a 21 year old is going to cause as it's not like the team was handing him free ice time. The Bruins messed up because they expected a 21 year old to have the maturity of a veteran player which was a bad miscalculation on their part as well they miscalculated on his potential. I've seen pictures of Hall, Ebs, RHN at Edmonton night clubs. Young men being young men isn't the issue with Hall hell we have all seen the Flames at Cowboys pictures over the years. Not buying into the team concept is the issue with Hall.
Iginla was part of the Flames culture issue. I don't even think that's debateable now.
