For Iginla it's going to be about role and his willingness to adapt to it. As a 9-12 forward on a lower cost deal, someone in the NHL likely could use him. But for a player who spent 16 seasons as being the alpha dog that can be a tough transition to make. Gary Roberts as an example was able to do this, but he didn't have anywhere near the success for as long as a guy like Iginla did, not to mention the adversity in overcoming a significant injury that forced him out of the game.
