Is he a deadline rental? Is he on the final year of his contract? Is there ZERO expectations to sign him again in the off season? Are the Flames truly a Cup contender?
If all of the above, then, yes.
Will Iginla be capable of playing a depth forward role once the Flames are Cup Contenders or will he be retired by then? He'll probably be retired, so this makes it not bloodly likely. Too bad. I'd still like to see Iginla get his cup and I'd prefer it to be in a Flames uniform.
I'm not going to kid myself. If Iginla were to play for the Flames again, it better not be as the top gun. He'll be there to provide depth and veteran leadership. The problem is, many people will be frustrated that he isn't on the 1st line and potting 40 goals.
