I mean, it's Iggy.
But now that we're low on RW's and looking to be a playoff contender within a few years, nobody can fault the fans for thinking of him as an acquisition possibility - especially within the context that
he just led his entire team in scoring. Including younger names like
ROR, Duchene, Landeskog, MacKinnon. So I think the whole "this ship has sailed" or "let it go" angle in light of this fact is purely an emotional one, rather than one seeking to improve the team and looking at the raw numbers. Until his scoring drops off a cliff, why undersell his achievements?
