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.

Were the LA Kings a contender when they snuck in to the 8th seed and won in 2012? With the recent play of our team, it's not out of the realm of possibility to think that we could be cup contenders, especially with our recent additions at defense. Couple that with some added motivation and all of a sudden we're a crazy dangerous team.
Thing is, you guys who say no very well may be right. We may not be contenders. Adding Iggy is useless, too much distraction, and the player is a shell of his former self. But what if not? What if you're wrong? This team will still continue to grow without Iginla beyond this year. The risk is honestly so minimal. What if this year we add this excitement for the cost of say, Wideman. Think about when Fleury played that preseason with us... dare to dream!
