I'm not sure it would be a distraction. Iggy would and should recognize this is Gio's team now, and it's not the same team he left. It is a completely new team.
Having said that, if Iggy ever came back I would picture it as a one year deal, do or die for him. If anything, it would give the guys an added boost, 'win it for Iggy'. I think of the Hawks and Hossa, and the Avs and Bourque back in the day.
Despite the fact that Iggy was a long time Flame, the team is so much different than when he left that I think he falls into the same category as Hossa and/or Bourque if he came back. It would just be extra special for the fans who think we were robbed in 2004 (which we were).
Watching that video of Bob Cole saying, You've done it Lanny. You've done it gives me shivers. I hope Iggy gets that.
