I agree that Iginla shouldn't be playing above the third line at this stage of his career however if we can replace Brouwer with Iginla, we would be able to improve our 3rd line (and maybe even get Bennett and power play one going), and simultaneously drop a lot of dedicated salary that will be crucial in retaining Backlund, Tkachuk, Bennett, Stone, and adding a guy like Ben Bishop in net.
On another note, it's possible Shane Doan, rather than Iginla, is Treliving's guy, as there is a history there. I would welcome Doan as much as Iggy.
