This is very good news for the Flames, I hope this guy get lots of ice time if he makes the team.

Flames just signed a great young prospect with tons of potential. Everyone was very impressed with his play at the World Juniors and he looks like hes gunna be a good prospect. Hopefully he can crack the line-up next year.

Thats pretty delusional considering Ovechkin carried his team more then Iginla did, and he got them into the playoffs and had a much bette regular season then Iginla points wise. I don't see what argument you could make to put Iginla ahead of Ovechkin?

Because Iggy is an all around better player then Ovechkin but points wise no.

I don't see what you can give to show that he is all around better, Ovechkin had more points, more goal, a comparable Plus/minus and assists and they both hit. So what makes Iginla so much more well rounded then Ovechkin?

I'd say there will be more Flames fans there. Alot of the old Jet fans became Flames fans after the move.
