The last few years where Iggy was declining and we held on too long were tough on everyone so it's easy to forget... but for a few years there he wasn't just our best player. He was arguably the best player in the NHL.
A rare breed of a 50-goal scoring power-forward captain that would drop the gloves, kick your *** and then shake your hand after.
Hopefully when Johnny and Sean are signing their next contacts they will be comparable situations to that big Iggy contract but as of now they still fall short of that grandeur.
