Probably his best bet unless someone offers him a PTO. But yes, he needs to get into game action with NHL-level players, and the Worlds is his next best opportunity for that if someone doesn't sign him post-deadline as a bit of an audition.
And Iginla is pretty damn slow. He's still strong, can battle in the corners and drop the mitts still, and of course his bullet shot. But he makes Chris Stewart look like Michael Grabner in terms of foot speed and motor.
