We need to get bigger and tougher on our wings if we expect to compete with St Louis, LA, Anaheim amongst others in the playoffs.
Iginla does that.
He also can moonlight on the pp and the occasional shift on the first line.
He also gives the team a person to rally around. He is a true pro and knows how to handle the Calgary market. His fitness is still top notch.
I have zero concerns that he'd be a distraction and i'd love guys like Bennett, Tkachuk, Gaudreau and Monahan to learn how to be a pro year round from a first ballot hall of famer.
I'd be all for trading for Iginla. I think the price will be higher than people on here expect for all of the above reasons.
