I don't think the Phaneuf - Iginla fight would have been awesome - unless one just wanted to see Phaneuf get pummeled, in which case just carry on.

I still think Iginla could have had a nice fit in Calgary on the 4th line and pushing Brouwer out of the PP (though Ferland should have pushed Brouwer off the PP).

The problem comes when the lineup is healthy, who do you remove? Chiasson is playing well, without question. Bouma? I think Bouma has been playing his role well, even with zero offence. I would have been happy to take Iginla back at the trade deadline though. I became of the opinion that he was a better player than what he was showing in the Avs - I think a lot of those players are better than what they are showing over there. He is doing much better on the Kings, and he is doing what he can to will them into the playoffs.

The unfortunate thing for Iginla is that the Kings are actually a really big and heavy team, and Iginla at 39 simply can't carry such a heavy team on his back.
