If he wasn't the best player in the league, he was top 3.
Wait, were you being sarcastic?

Don't get me wrong here, and let me preface this by saying Iggy is my favorite player. But Iggy was never in any conversation about being the best two-way guy.
He is and was very offensively gifted, a great leader, and very, very tough. His defensive game left something to be desired. And that's not a knock on him. Different players have different roles, and rarely are wingers your top "2-way" guy.
