I think and hope that Iginla will return to Calgary. Feaster will offer him a shiny new deal at the end of the postseason, and I can't see him saying no.
Maher thanked Jarome for being such a class act towards the team, the media and the fans. Then he got a round of applause and it looked like he almost choked up, put his head down.

I thought I got over it last night but had a bit of a lump in the throat at the end there. Man why does Iggy have to be such a likeable guy?

Man, it's so depressing now, he's really gone now, and it's finally hitting home. After all is said and done, I think Iginla will eventually find his way back here, whether it be as a player or some other part of management. The guy is such a pro. He was emotional, but held it all in check until the very end when Peter almost got to him.
Conroy and Cammalleri looked wrecked. Iginla looked over expecting to see smiles and saw those guys teared up, so Iginla looked back not to draw attention to them.
Correcting "we" with "they" made it hit home.
Then Peter's final question.

There's no way Feaster doesn't try to get Iginla back in the lineup, and when he's got offers from 30 teams and he sees Calgary, which is his home, and where his family is, I can't see him saying no. He'll be influenced by his wife and kids, it has to happen.

The only chance of him coming back next year is if the Penguins win the Cup this year and he decides he likes the idea of returning home to help a rebuild.
Realistically, the best case is that he spends three or four years in Pittsburgh, then comes back for a final season as a retirement party.
