Look, I am a fan of Iggy. How could any true red Flames fan not be? Some people felt soured by the way he left, and that's their prerogative. I am of the feeling that it's his career, his family, his dreams. You do what you gotta do Good Sir. I have a TON of #12 paraphernalia all over my house. A few jerseys too.
I voted no. I don;t think Iggy can improve the team by as much as the cost to acquire him is likely to be. Even if he can be gotten for reasonable or better value, I question if he actually does still have that extra gear he used to. And let's be honest. Yes the playoff picture looks a LOT better than it did even two weeks ago, but the Flames still aren't assured of anything yet. Would Iggy even want to make that bet on the Flames?
And that brings me to my final thought. Does Jarome even want to leave Colorado? I've seen absolutely nothing in the media to suggest he wants out, has been approached, or is even on the actual radar outside of some fans on various sites.
I hope he does sign a retirement contract here, and then #12 goes up in the rafters where it rightfully belongs. None of this "Forever A Flame" feces.

He has been quoted after numerous Avs losses this year that he wants to play for a playoff team. Hell, I think it started in November.
Does your thoughts on cost change if it's a 6th round pick? What if the cost is Keegan Kanzig?
My take, wait until Wednesday morning. Just do it. Does anyone think the Flames will be a worse team with Iginla on it? Like we are going to curse not having Chaisson out there? Nope. Not really seeing the negative here.
