I'm saying that anyone who is tossing out a blanketed "He won't want to come to Calgary because he'll be looking to join a cup favourite" is off base. There aren't nearly going to be as many options among the top, favoured teams as there were when he was leaving Calgary the first time.
I think at this point with how Calgary's looking in their last ten games, it's an attractive landing spot given how tight the market is with respect to teams looking to add a player of that age / status.

What are you talking about?! He is going to aim for the team he and his agent think has the best chance of winning that wants him. No doubt about it.
And nope. I don't think he has pick of every team. It probably won't be a big market for him. But if he choses calgary amongst even a few teams, I think he is going to be clinical about it vs some nostalgic reason.
I see history kind of repeating.....he is going to tell sakic the few teams he wants to go to, and Sakic will try his best to get him there even if the return isn't great. Otherwise iggy won't waive.
