The Flames never really did get Iginla another true top end piece to work with. Tanguay and Camalleri were probably the two closest guys. Jokinen was supposed to be, but didn't quite work out.

Yeah this is something people seem to forget, Iggy was a one man show for most of his career. You look at the superstars that played during his time and they all had other superstars to help them out. Yzerman had Fedorov and Lidstrom, Crosby had Malkin, Sakic had Forsberg, etc.
