I voted no. Not because he's not good, but because we're not winning the cup this year, with or without iggy. I do however think he would look great flanking gaudreau and bennett.
For the people saying he's slow, I wouldn't be too worried about that. There are plenty of examples of slower players with high IQ who are good (Lucic, Perry, Bertuzzi, Sedin's)
I would be way more worried about his shot (probably his greatest asset). I don't remember which gm/coach/executive/scout said this, but pretty much they said that, as a sniper type player ages, they lose their release. I haven't had a chance to look at how he's been scoring his goals in the last few years, but I would assume that his "sniping" ability has deteriorated.
Just food for thought
