I just thought it was hypocritical. You didn't want to see Iginla in a Flames jersey again but you were okay with Jagr despite him being 5 years older.
I guess "expiry date" means different things depending on how high up a player is in the all-time scoring race?
Personally, I would've MUCH rather brought Iginla back as our 'elder statesman, character, leadership' player than Jagr.
Anyway, we all knew this day was coming. I hope Iginla enjoys his retirement.
