I don't think Nieuwendyk deserves it since he refused to play for the Flames while he had a validi contract. The Flames were in a time of need, and he abandoned them.

I know we got Iginla out of it, but Nieuwendyk himself had nothing to do with that. The Flames got lucky.

If the team felt the same, he wouldn't have already been honoured.
