The point of my argument is that if we're looking to improve our team, there has be someone better out then a slow 39 year old winger. There are reasons to bring Iginla here...but I seriously doubt that from a strictly hockey perspective, he's the best answer.
If his name wasn't Iginla, we'd all be groaning at the proposition.

It's fine to point out he isn't the answer to our hole at top line RW, and I don't think anyone being realistic is suggesting that.
But I think he's not as slow as some of you are making him out to be, and I think he *is* and upgrade on Chiasson and maybe even Brouwer (certainly on the power play).
He doesn't need to be *the* answer, but can be an answer to a smaller problem / upgrade.
