The two eras aren't comparable. Iginla took up a much higher % of the cap, with a worse supporting cast and no farm system. The Flames weren't mediocre from 2007-2013 because Iginla was the highest paid player. They had years of ####ty management to blame for that.

That's pretty much the point. That era didn't have to pay all those other pieces either.
