Like it or not, Iginla was the identity of the Flames for a decade. He didn't need to spend the majority of his career with the Flames, but he did. He did amazing things around the community and is one of the most recognizable names and faces in hockey. I've traveled internationally and somehow people who knew little about the NHL would ask me if Iginla was still playing for Calgary.
That says something right there.
I find it disgusting how many of you have turned on him for this decision. So many star players have had much uglier departures then that. I thought this fanbase was above these kinds of petty grudges.
