David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 34s All the power to the players for getting these contracts... but some of these teams need a good look in the mirror.

I would love for Iggy to go back but doubt that will happen. I wouldn't be surprise if he sign with Dallas with all the moves Dallas is doing today. Him and Spezza on the same line would be awesome.
