This franchise has fooled me many times over the past 10+ seasons with new/revamped rosters that are better then previous seasons on paper.

So much improved that we had "the best defensive depth in the league" twice and how did that turn out both times? Now people are saying the Flames have the best forward depth in the division/conference? hahhahah!

Until they start winning consistently they are a middling team that will win some and lose many. Not fooling me again in the summer prior to a new season.

HAHA!

RIGHT! lol

I think the fact he didn't even play last year is a good indicator that he's not in playing shape lol

[adam c]

Can he do something like Theo and sign for a game?

He can sign a one day contract so that he officially retires as a Flame. I have not heard if this is the plan of the team, but certainly an option that is being supported by many fans - myself included.

That and hang that jersey up in the rafters at the home opener or if there is a more significant date?

[adam c]

I'd like to see him play 1 more game too, not just sign and hang up the jersey

[beyond_ban]

While possible he would play 1 more game, i give it about a .0001% chance (maybe less). Generally jerseys are not retired immediately either, ceremony may not happen until the 2019 season or later. Also, Iggy will be fully retired and not a part of that stupid "Forever a Flame" thing that honours Joe Nieuwendyk and Al MacInnis without actually retiring their numbers.

[colinxx235]

Also agree that it is highly unlikely he would play 1 game, too much of a distraction for a team that just had a big reshuffle all over. As much as I love Iggy and still rock the jersey.

By hang him in the rafters I also meant retiring, not a forever flame shit. I don't think it would be too hard to get a ceremony for the home opener but that is just me.

Greatest flame and captain ever. A guy with class. I really just wished he had a cup win, the only one he's missing.

For sure. He won everything else. This presser brings back so many memories. So bittersweet.

[dirtsniffer]

What are the chances Iginla's jersey is retired at the home opener?
