Don't think the Avs were thinking that they were replacing Statsny by signing Iginla...more like they let Stastny go in favour of going with a Duchene/MacKinnon/O'Reilly tandem and they signed a veteran winger to help make those centers better. Those three were expected to step up this year, especially Duchene.
I was very critical of Iginla during his last few years as a Flame, but he has done what's been expected of him this season.
