Is Iginla losing his competitive edge?

Jarome Iginla had his compete-level questioned by former teammate Rhett Warrener.
"His greatest asset was his shot but more importantly his compete-level ' his refuse-to-lose attitude ' and now you are watching and ' it's not there," said Warrener. "He's not Dany Heatley-slow, but he's not getting there. I don't know if he's slowed down and his compete-level has followed, but you don't see that compete and fire in his eye now. I think you see frustration setting in." Iginla has six points, but just one goal, in 10 games this season. Iginla has gotten off to slow starts before only to catch fire as the season progressed, but given that this is a shortened campaign, fantasy owners might not get the same level of payoff for their patience.
