I wouldn't expect Iginla to wear any letters and I don't think he does either. It is likely the same expectation the fans here would have for Iginla now, putting up maybe 25-30 points and likely finishing off his career where it all began. Plus he has a solid chance at the playoffs here in Calgary, and possibly one more slim chance at the cup.
Trevor Linden was the comparable that came to my mind as well.
