I have mixed emotions when it comes to Iginla.
On the one hand he is probably the greatest Flame ever (so far) and almost single-handedly won the Cup in 2004 (it was in).
On the other hand the last few years in Calgary he tended to float around the ice and cheat offensively to the detriment of the D zone. At the time I found it really frustrating but in hindsight he was probably utilizing his talents in what he thought was the best way to help the team win, even though it was likely not what the coaches wanted.
My immediate reaction to the question of whether he should come back is "no" primarily because his skill and speed has sharply declined and this Flames team is primarily built around speed and skill. Also, I worry about what it might do to the room to have the undisputed former face of the franchise back and in a support role. I worry about the effect it might have on some of the younger leadership group like Monahan.
However, he might be able to fill the Sam Gagner role on this team: 4th liner who is a PP specialist. This would depend on him buying into that role 100%. Maybe he would but maybe he wouldn't. Overall there are more potential likely negative scenarios than positive ones to make it worthwhile to the team.
