I hope Iggy is not done. He still has game, maybe not a 20 goal top 6 guy, but he can be a contributor on a powerplay and be a decent veteran winger on a 3rd line.

My dream scenario is Brouwer gets selected by the Golden Knights, and the Flames sign Iggy and have him on the 3rd line with Bennett and Jankowski next year. Iggy also plays on the powerplay unit with Gaudreau feeding him one timers.

I still don't think the Flames have the right toughness. They have tough players, but I want to see more of what Iginla brings, that is a clear known threat of repurcussion if you go after our star player. Iggy always makes the other team aware that you don't touch his players. That Engelland hit on Kopitar wasn't even that rough, but it was enough for Iginla to drop the gloves.

I know Treliving and Burke have talked about how this team can play with the big teams now and cited the recent St. Louis game as an example. I'm still a little skeptical. I wouldn't have minded seeing a little more fire from the team in the 3rd period last night especially with the game out of hand. Brouwer, Bouma, Ferland should have been much more onery in the third. All 3 of these guys need to be front and centre over the next 5 games against big tough teams, and much more so if they end up playing the Oilers in the playoffs (all 3 were invisible in all 4 games against the Oilers this year).
