If that is the case, why was the popular refrain from Flames fans circa 2003-2012 that the team needs to find a centre for Iginla to play with?

Is this just yet another "lets crap on Iginla because we can" post? Have you actually looked at the centres we had over that time? Conroy got so much time because he was the best of what we had and because Iginla carried him to a couple very good seasons. Daymond Langkow was a damn good centre in his own right (two 30 goal seasons while here), but by that time the "we need a centre for Iginla" refrain was so entrenched that only a superstar name would have satisfied that itch - even if that player managed no better than Langkow.
