I have to fully agree. It's baseless and slander to sugget something not only does all evidence point against, but has absolutely no evidence supporting it. It's like the McCarthy lady saying vaccines are causing autism.
But I would speculate Iginla and Brent Sutter didn't like each other, and that may have tainted things between Iginla and the organization, since Brent had several brothers in the organization. But Iginla was the guy to score goals on a team that couldn't buy one, so it must have been hard to tell a team defense wins games when they were losing and Iginla cheated the system to try and win a game for the club - and sometimes it worked. If Brent would have had any other goalie, he wouldn't have lasted 3 years
