In case no one has noticed it is the defence on that line which has been lacking, not sure how Iginla helps that. They've been hemmed in their own zone so much and Iginla doesn't improve that. Only place Iginla could contribute is on the pp and our pp has been great lately so wouldn't want to mess with that either.

Just say no to Iginla.
Gaudreau absolutely needs a finisher on his line. In his rookie season he had Hudler and a sophomore Monahan on his line who combined to be one of the best lines in the game at the time. None of those guys were defensive stalwarts either. These guys formed incredible chemistry especially on the rush and as it stands at the moment, it seems these days Johnny is trying to do everything himself because he doesn't have reliable line mates to create space or generate openings for themselves or for him.
