It speaks to who is a big game performer, and who is not. Iginla still brings an edge, competitiveness, and physicality at 39 that Vrbata has never shown in his entire career.

My preference on a rental (ultimately is simply not to pick one up):
1. Iginla
2. Sharp
3. Vrbata

Acquiring Vrbata is effectively acquiring 2016 Hudler (although probably the un-injured version of that Hudler). I'd much sooner get Iginla, have him be the 3rd line RW and push Brouwer down to the 4th line RW for a very strong ability to roll 4 lines.
Are you honestly comparing their careers?

Sure Iggy in his prime, everyone would take that

its about NOW though...Iggy is a shadow of his former self...Vrbata is two seasons removed from 63 points and is nearly on that pace THIS YEAR

Iggy also played on far better teams in the playoffs
