Is Iginla helping Colorado? I would suggest he is, at least from a numbers standpoint. He could've absolutely helped the Flames.
The change had to happen but I think had he come back (I thought the Flames should've seriously considered signing him in the offseason) after the fact, it could've been good for both parties. He's not a guy that wouldve come in and disrupt Gio's leadership, Iggy has been pure class his entire career. As much as some would paint it otherwise, Iggy has always been a team player.
