Iggy would have had multiple 60 goal seasons if Savvy stayed a Flame.

Side note, and maybe at one point a thread has been made.
Flames have really made a lot of boneheaded moves and squandered a lot of talent, I wonder if other teams are similar.
Historically you have the terrible Gilmour trade, the very debatable Hull trade (justified by the cup) and Savard.
Those were bad trades, and then you have guys whose potential was not valued properly and were pretty much discarded - St. Louis, and more recently guys like Stralman and Byron.
I guess the Sharks underestimated their third goalie at one point.
Anyhow, it’s a shame that Iggy and Gaudreau didn’t overlap, and Iggy’s departure was sort of necessary for the culture adjustment and the emergence of Johnny and Mony.
