Both #12's come home this summer. Time to put it in the rafters.

I assume he signs the one day deal to retire as a Flame?

I know it's his time, but I have to say, seeing this made official makes me a bit sad. The league needs more guys like Iggy playing the game, not less.

#12 better be hoisted to the rafters

Better wait until Hanifin signs to make sure there's cap room.

He is the greatest Calgary Flame of all time, and should be treated that way. Hopefully they get it right and retire his jersey this season.

Damn, I honestly never thought this day would come. I remember reading The Herald back in 2001-02 when he was leading the scoring race, seeing his name at the top of the scoring column, and thinking how in the heck was Calgary so lucky to have the leading scorer in the league. I NEVER thought this day would come. He was always immortal to me.

It was a roller coaster of emotions the day he got traded, and I can't help but feel the same now. Time just flies buy

Great news. I'm not one of those fans that enjoys watching HOF players play past their expiry date so I'm glad he's decided to move to the nest phase of his life.

I hope he takes a job with the team - this is the type of guy we need to have around the organization for a long, long time.

Hard to say I suppose. Didn't he buy a $4 million house in Boston last year?

This is going to be one retirement ceremony that is going to make me choke up.
