I understand why people want him to come back but play a bottom 6 role, because the bottom 6 guys get less minutes and can do less damage if they play badly.
Which is exactly what would happen. Iginla isnt fast enough or defensive enough to play on our bottom 6 right now. Top 6? Sure. But he isnt a grinder. Bottom 6 minutes are not his game.
And I personally wouldnt want to see the guy trotted out like a sad has-been playing sheltered minutes just 'because hes Iggy.'
He deserves more respect than that.
