That's selling Iginla short. Nichushkin has never been nearly as productive unless you're specifically looking at Iggy's sophomore year. Maybe you're talking about the "eye test" but fact is Nichushkin has 20 goals in 139 career games. Iginla scored more in his rookie year alone. Nichuskhin will be lucky to be half the player Iginla was but even that's looking like a stretch right now. He's got 6 goals this year. People will point to injuries, and that's fair, but it doesn't change the fact that he's on on downward trajectory despite being given every opportunity by a very good team.
