Iggy would be motivated during the playoffs, and to say he doesn't improve our team is just plain wrong. What it comes down to is the cost of acquisition and if we could fit his cap hit.
Scoring goals is not the only essential metric for judging effectiveness as an NHL player, otherwise Backlund would've been out of the league years ago.

Iginla also lead the avalanche with a -22, worse than any flames player last year.
