I'd love to have him back but I voted no because I just don't think it makes sense for the Flames.
There is his on ice fit and the other stuff. By other stuff I mean the room, chemistry, media distraction etc.
On ice, I think we could probably use him if he's rejuvenated by a return to Calgary. Those old man legs may feel a bit younger if he rejoins the Flames. Haha remember when we used to say a change of scenery out of Calgary would do him good? Never thought I'd say maybe a change of scenery involving a move to Calgary would be in the cards. Our winger depth isn't great and maybe Iggy could help.
However, that is outweighed by the room and media. Bringing back your former captain and the media ####storm it would cause just wouldn't be worth it. Plus, what if he failed? Oh man it would be ugly. It only works if he comes back and succeeds.
We also have to consider if Treliving would do it, not just if we as fans would want it and if we think it would work. I don't think we would be willing to give up as much as the Avs want, even if it isn't very much, and I doubt Treliving would want to.
Corny as it sounds I'll say my heart votes yes but my head says no.
