What would the effect be, mentally, to those players that believe they are the stars of the team to see Iggy come back and take away that spotlight? Would they welcome it or resent it just a bit.

Total non factor. Unless you are a delusional fan (and there are some) nobody would think this is Iginla in his prime coming back to reclaim his team. The core is still the core and its still their job to carry this team. This would be a bit of added depth and leadership and that's it. Even Iginla would know that.
