The Edmonton fans and media celebrating that this is the biggest win in Canadian hockey history, a star player re-signing in Canada.
Iginla extended a year before his contract was up. So did Kipper. The Sedins had significant interest in free agency and stayed with Vancouver.
And yes Iggy was passed by Crosby as the best player in the league, but he was still a top tier player probably top 5 in the NHL. Kipper was a top 5 goalie. The Sedins top 10 players.
