Iginla seems like a private guy. My guess is he will probably disappear like Kipper did.

The writing was on the wall for a while. Too bad it comes without a cup, but still a fantastic career. Iggy was a total hero in the way he modeled so many good characteristics. My favourite player all-time. Thank you Iggy.

Why? what makes you think he will be qualified at all for a job with the team? Because he scored a bunch of goals and points...?

Best of luck to Iginla, definitely a great player.

Iginla won the Stanley Cup 14 years ago

He is coaching his kids teams and living in the Boston area these days. We actually played them this spring. Cool seeing him behind the bench.

I think his focus will be on that for a while.

they'd better do it right and raise 12 to the rafters. Don't even think about that Forever a Flame crap ...

If it's some stupid Forever a Flame ceremony, I am so done with this organisation. But luckily as much as the Flames sometimes bumble certain events, I just can't see them being that dumb and not straight up retiring his number the moment they can.

Iginla is without question the greatest and most important Flame of all time. No chance in hell his number isn't retired.

And yet you were happy with Jagr here? I'm afraid if there's a perfect example of a HOF player playing past his expiry, that was it.

Boston at the Dome on October 17th. Seems like a great time to raise that jersey.

Always hoped he'll return for one last run. At least he's retiring as a Flame. Hopefully the number is retired soon.

Is there a difference between "retirement" and forever a flame. I thought that forever a flame replaced the jersey retirement thing and there isn't two categories of honoring a former player.

One retires the number (no one else will wear it) whereas the other just honors the player.
