If you could have your choice of the Flames winning the cup this year or picking up Iggy so he could retire a Flame and then get eliminated in the second round, what would you pick?
I'm honestly curious to see what some people would pick because I think some around here care more about feeling good than winning.

This is not a legitimate argument.
It is no guarantee that the team would either do better or worse with Iginla on the team. Jarome would get his ice-time cut and would probably be a healthy scratch IF he was helping the Flames lose games, long before the playoffs arrived.
I am more on the 'no' side, but your argument is the same as:
"If you could pick between winning the cup with Jarome, and being eliminated in the 2nd round because this team didn't have enough leadership and someone to rally around, what would you choose?"
It is a nonsensical argument.
