Bottom line is that the flames could use a right shot with a bit of toughness who as they said can take a draw to add to the young forward group and are lining up like a contending team. Throw in the history and iginla beong the franchise icon... This should be an easy match for a short term deal and somehow isn't even being discussed.
I agree 100%. Ever since the last two seasons he was mopey/down on Calgary. Most likely because of the country club rumours when he was captain.

He's playing with Kotaliks and Jokinens, being lectured by a terrible coach that crams round pegs into square holes and the captain gets ridiculed for a country club attitude. Why would anyone want to come back to that?
