Eric Francis: Should Calgary bring Iggy back? Just hear me out
It wasn’t long after Jarome Iginla hinted he’d waive his no-trade clause to chase another Cup that locals started pondering the improbable.
Would the franchise leader in every category except growing facial hair consider the possibility of returning to Calgary at the trade deadline?
Would the Flames contemplate giving up a third or fourth rounder for him?
Would it make sense on any level?
On the surface, it would seem like a non-starter for a young team built around speed.
It could also be a no-win situation to ask a former captain and 50-goal scorer to return to town as a 39-year-old who has struggled to five goals so far this year.
