Im not in the anti return for iggy crowd. But im not pro iggy coming back either. I think he would have the best wrist shot on this team if we got him. I think the speed issues are overstated. He isnt slower than Monahan. I dont think he would interfere with the leadership. I think we could definitely use him on our PP and as a depth forward. Plus nobody would work harder than him because he loves this city and would kill to win here.
On the other side..his contract is one we would need to make space for. He isnt good defensively. Combined -40 last 2 seasons..but maybe thats just the avs.
The biggest reasons i dont think he should come back are because we are not a contender...just a potential playoff team.
AND i think we can find a better player who brings more and takes up less cap or can help us past this season ie younger. Id take Vrbata or Armia over Iggy.
PS he is my favorite player in the history of the NHL and my 3rd favorite athlete of all time.
Im not for it. Im not against it. But i think its thinkink with the heart and not the head.
