I'm glad he didn't return at the trade deadline because I think it would have been a big distraction, as well as probably would have changed the room finding a spot for him. It's not your typical TDL acquisition when it's one of the most popular and legendary players in franchise history. I could see it being a bit uncomfortable for some of the current Flames, as well as Iginla and management and coaching.
But if he were to come here in the off season and play the full year, I'd be a-ok with that. This is the Flames we're talking about. We always have one or two over-the-hill guys. I'd love for next year's to be Iginla. Or Jagr. Or both.
