The powerplay was one of the big reasons I wanted iginla rather than Jagr. Penalty killers have to respect one timers from right-handed snipers like iginla, Ovechkin, Laine, Stamkos... seems to spread out the PK which means more room for skilled playmakers like Johnny and also opens up the slot for Monahan. Most teams that have these kinds of shooters seem to have pretty effective power plays.
I know iginla is not what he once was but he still has a wicked one-timer. Can’t say there are many teams offering up right-handed snipers in trade these days so it would have been the cheapest, most effective option.
