I also think that he'd only need to see Iggy step in for him once or twice before he started just kicking some asses on his own.
Addendum: I'm not entirely sure how Iggy would affect Gio's authority in the room though. I could see young forwards wanting to listen to Jarome instead of Giordano, which is pretty much exactly what would destroy one of the major things this team has right now: chemistry.

While I think it would be best to wait one more season... I think iggy coming back would be just fine. Have to remember that by that point especially, most of the guys on this team weren't here when iginla was so they all look at gio as their leader. It's not like iggy is coming back to a dressing room with cammalleri, tanguay, jaybow, regehr, etc... Who would all naturally see iginla as their leader since he always was. Gaudreau, Monahan, baertschi, Brodie, etc. pretty much only know giordano as captain. Iggy would provide great supplemental leadership and scoring. Plus all the grit you need in the western conference.
I saw the game earlier this year where landeskog took on a veteran (I think it was Andrew laad but I could be wrong) and iginla was standing there just dying to get in there and take over for the kid cause he would never hesitate to protect his teammates. I know landeskog has always been a gritty player but I have to think having Jerome iginla next you out there would make you want to emulate him. Cause that's what landeskog looked like in that fight. It was awesome. And yeah... I could see the same thing happen with Monahan. I want iginla to come back and be a key part of this team one day... I hope the time will be right next year.
