I remember Conroy saying that Iggy wants to win a cup so bad that will do anything in his power to make it happen. If that means hanging around as a 40 year old waiting for the call, then so be it.
I'm one of those people that doesn't see a player who hangs around past his prime as a mark against his 'legacy'. It's his life, his choice, and takes nothing away from what he accomplished during his best years. Even minimum NHL salary, regardless of your career earnings, is still a massive amount of money.
What a story it would be if he came back at his age and got one last cup run. If you thought OV's cup run was epic...
Unlikely, but would still be cool to see.
