Iginla was the best Calgary player ever but $13 million today?
Top scorers who needed new deals from the lockout didn't get Iginla money.
Martin St. Louis was 1st in scoring(94pts) and signed for 5.250m
Ilya Kovalchuk was 3rd(87pts) and signed for $6.5m
Marian Hossa was 5th(82pts) $6.0
Iginla was 17th(73pts) and got $7.0m
He was worth his contract later on but certainly it wasn't a hometown discount when signed.
