Not sure I get this. Do you not understand what I'm saying? Iginla is an insanely talented and useful player and is a major boon to the Penguins lineup, if utilized correctly. So are you saying that you agree, they aren't and weren't going to use him correctly? Or are you saying something else?
If you recall, I was concerned about 2 things. The first was giving up the major assets for a piece we really didn't need. I wasn't opposed to getting him, I was opposed to giving up a Maata or DP plus first plus roster player.
That fear was alleviated and I was cool with what we gave up.
The second comes with the whole first issue of where exactly is he going to play? I didn't, and still don't think it is wise to break up line one as it was clicking at the time at an unbelievable rate.
I agree that he could be a boon to any roster. But on this roster, where do you put him? I am of the mindset that you keep lines one and two as before. You then put Iggy with Jussi as his center and Morrow as his LW.
Other line being Cooke, BS and Adams.
This gives you four STRONG lines which we could roll all game. Three of which have the ability to create offense and are a threat every time they jump over the boards. It also removes TK and Glass from the lineup, so we know it won't happen.
For the record, I am happy with the Iggy deal considering what we gave up for him. But the second concern I had is still TBD.
