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.
At this point what does 41 year old Iginla really bring to a legit contender? Leadership? Doubtful. If a team is on the cusp, I'm not sure why you bother bringing in a pure mercenary ring chaser at that point.

Hang em up.
