Iginla obviously should be in the HHOF. One of the best players of the post Gretzky/Pre Crosby era of hockey. For a five year period of 2000-2005 he was the face of the league, he was talented but also marketable to a wide audience. I feel fortunate to have been able to watch him play.
As for Fleury his time will eventually come, but the old boys club that controls the league has a long memory. He has been able to rejuvenate his image to a large degree but whether it will be enough in the near future is difficult to say.
A non Flames name though that I think is often overlooked is Steve Larmer, has a cup and has made the 1000 points that seems to be the benchmark (granted they are 1980s/early 90s points)
