In all fairness to Iginla, the system that Brent deployed was a complete failure, so I understood his frustration. The year prior, the Flames were a cup favourite and finished 8th in GF/GP.
Under Brent, we dropped to 29th in GF/G and missed the playoffs.
There was a lot more going on than just the loss of Cammalleri. I really don't blame Jarome for pushing back against a system that was not utilizing the strengths of that team.
