As we all know, that bum Iginla wasn't even one of the 100 greatest players of all time. Scrolling through that list does lend credence to the idea that great players might be better executives. It's also still annoying to see the likes of Denis Savard, Lafontaine, D Keith, Toews, or even Sundin on that list ahead of Iggy.
Lemaire was good, but overshadowed by both his wingers. Funny - he was on the offensive line on a run and gun team and he ended up inventing a supremely defensive style.
