That might very well be the case that he would walk away
the reality is that Iggy had 27 points in 80 games last year: that's the definition of a bottom 6 player.
the guy is 40 years old... i would be very, very surprised if he thought he'd be getting top 6 time and line mates...
as for naming players, well, pretty much all guys that play into their late 30s and into their 40s end up taking diminished roles...I doubt Cammy is going to see top 6 line mates at 1 million per season...
If Iggy does sign here, i am sure he will have been told his role and he'd obviously be ok with it.
