“He knows how to win, that’s for sure. You see him in the corners, and he owns the boards in their end. He’s so strong, guys can’t get him off the puck. When he gets in front of the net, he seems to bury the puck all the time. He’s a great player, an all-around player.”
—World Juniors teammate Wade Redden

“The thing with Iggy is he doesn’t ever talk about himself at all. If it was up to him there would be no reporters or cameras. On the ice, he’s full of confidence. You can tell by a move he makes before scoring, or the way he holds onto the puck. But he’ll never let you know about it. It’s not his personality.”
—Flames forward Craig Conroy

“Iggy is just realizing how good he can be.”
—Flames head coach Greg Gilbert

“A lot of people in the States don’t really know who he is. He plays in Calgary. Could you imagine if he was in the States, what it would mean?.”
—Flames GM Craig Button

“Right now he might be the best forward in the league.”
—Blues head coach Joel Quenneville
