That said, Iggy left a metaphorical fart in the room as he left the Flames, too, by nixing that Boston trade at the 11th hour after first agreeing to it.
IMO, neither Iggy nor Theo's transgressions should be enough to keep them from being honored as two of the greatest to wear the Flaming C.

You mean that Boston trade that would have got us Khochlechev or whatever the busts name was, Batrkowski (who did play and suck here) and a later 1st than we got from the Pens?
5+ years later that deal did not hurt the Flames at all as it was equally as garbage as the deal they got from the Pens.
