obviously, its easy for me to say, as I am not the one losing out on millions of dollars... but let's face it, over the course of his NHL career, Jarome has made enough money for generations of future iginlas...
nice to see Iggy answer the bell at age 40... disappointing that someone else didn't step up in a 10-1 drubbing... but i guess that's why Colorado is Colorado...

Keep in mind Iggy signed with the Avs after they won their division lead by super rookie Nate Mackinnon, with youngsters Matt Duchene, Ryan O'Rielly, and Gabe
Landeskog.
That was the Avs unsustainable year and they let Stastny walk that summer.
Not the best team to sign with but it made a bit of sense at the time
