Voted no before, yes now. I thought it was more a nostalgia thing earlier in the season when it was mentioned but I think there is a hole on this team he could help fill for cheap. Even at his age Iginla is still a scoring threat, and having him on the halfboards would do wonders for the PP. I don't think he has the legs anymore to keep up with the top line, but in a 3rd line role with 12-14 minutes I think he can still be effective.

I think he has been around outside of the Flames to understand the role and that this isn't his team anymore, and based on the fire they showed each other I don't think Gio would give it up either. Loads of experience, good shot, smart player and another mature voice in the locker room might just be the bump this team needs. Of course, for the right price.
