It's funny that the Flames has-been is still one of the best players still playing the game. No one expects Iggy to play on the first two or even third line on any team. But damn, don't dis a legend, man. It's like dissing Gordie Howe for all that he achieved in his long wonderful career.
I don't think its dissing iggy at all...more about the other two in that projected line

Janko and Klimchuk have played, what, a combined 10 games in the NHL?

i'd stick with Brouwer and versteeg until i know these other guys are actual NHLer's...

having Iggy in the bottom 6 is something that might be worthwhile to look into, but that's a far cry from actually making that move

The problem with bringing him back is the potential disruption in the locker room. I don't think Gio is a bad leader by any stretch but I don't know if he could keep that locker room as his if we were to bring I'm a legend of this franchise.

maybe... but from all accounts iggy fit right in with the LA Kings and is their Masterson trophy nominee isn't he?

I don't think Iggy's ever been a megalomaniac...At this point in his career, i highly doubt he would be interested in trying to "be the guy" anymore, especially in a room that's by all accounts, great
