Iginla was a certain blue chip prospect when he was traded to Calgary.
He was in the middle of a 2 plus point per game pace season with Kamloops, while playing a pugnacious style.
He was the key player in trading for a perennial 40 plus goal scorer....in Nieuwendyk.
Both teams did very well in that trade. Dallas won a Cup with Joe being a big cog.
He won the Conn Smythe,
