There are positions on this team that would benefit from an upgrade... I just don't think Iginla is the guy to fill them.
It would be like when Fleury tried to make a comeback. Exciting at first, but kind of sad by the end of it.

The questions are:
1. Is Iginla better then Chaisson, Hathaway, Versteeg's, etc where he can play in the everyday lineup. Personally I think he is better then Chaisson and offers a PP boost if a player or 2 go down. Good insurance
2. If not, would he accept a Lanny type role. I don't think he would.
3. Do we need/want his leadership. Can't make an informed decision as I don't know the players thoughts.
The poll is "if the price is right." You should acquire any player if the price is right. (Minus personal issues, etc) Even if they sit in the pressbox every game and provide insurance against injuries.
