He's older and slower regardless of his grit and passion. A lot of people hate Chiasson, but he essentially offers the same except he's younger and faster and I wouldn't be upset if he gets moved at the deadline.

If the Flames were a legit contender, I'd hope our GM would do a little more than bring in an Iggy level addition.
The Flames need an extra guy who can play some limited minutes in the bottom six, some spot first line duty/extra attacker time as well as PP time.
Iginla is not going to cost much to acquire, and his GM is probably going to be fired in six weeks anyway. It's a good story and it does sort of fill a need on our roster. Chiasson is a fine 4th line forward. He can't and shouldn't be anywhere near our first line, nor the PP.
Speed is important, but it's not everything. The puck's faster than everyone, and Iggy's still got his hands and his brain.
Wideman for Iggy. Do it.
