Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Jarome Iginla (3 years, $16M)

Is it only a month ago some people on here were speculating that we wouldn't even find a team willing to take him if we decided to trade him? Things change fast.

Iggy has been fantastic for us. All season.

No he hasnt.

He was pretty awful at the beginning of the season, despite any numbers he may have had. He was slow, soft, losing puck battles and making bad passes.

Lately hes been better in most areas though. Not perfect mind you, but at his age i am pleased with his CURRENT play. Still has poor coverage in his own zone.

Loved the signing in the summer and still feel the same way. He should have been with Duchene all along though.

Agree 100% with this post.

If the goals had come in the beginning instead of now, people would have been saying the opposite.

I think he always works hard on the backcheck to come back and clog the neutral zone. That's one of the biggest requirements Patty has of his forwards. I don't expect him to be a great defensive zone player as a winger, as long as he's scoring. He's also been paying the price lately to block shots.

The one area that I have had issues with him this year though, is his battles to get the puck out of the zone at the blueline when they're in trouble. He thinks offense far too often, and tries to be a bit too cute, instead of just getting it out. He's been better at it lately though, I haven't noticed it much.

He had a bumping first half of the season. But now he is goring to the net and doing what he does best. He has heart and he will be a great leader for this team. I enjoying him a lot this season.
