Who have been his linemates in Colorado? His stats line this season is terrible, but I've seen a couple vintage one-timers in highlight reels which brought back all the memories.
Looking at the corsi numbers and whatnot he looks fairly middle-of-the-road, which is actually quite good relative to a lot of his teammates.
The argument is, where does he fit in the lineup? Realistically he's a slight upgrade on Chiasson on the 4th line. Even the Brouwer haters have to admit Troy, at this stage of his career, is more serviceable than Iggy. Frolik is obviously invaluable on Backlund's line. I've enjoyed Versteeg's game but he's expendable. Could Iggy raise his game to ride shotgun with Johnny & Mony?
So it comes down to: do you bring back a 39-year-old former captain, arguably the best player that's ever suited up for the club, to play mainly on the 4th line & PP? It would have to be for cheap, and I mean really cheap. But I'm a sap & I'd like to see it happen.
