I doubt that. Iginla was drafted 11th overall and was coming off a great season in junior. He was definitely a bigger deal.
With this trade, it sounds like the Flames are going with a safer bet. Hanowski and Agostino sound like they have a good chance of being bottom 6 character guys, while the prospect Boston was going to give up (Khoklachev or whatever) sounds like he had top 6 (even 1st line) potential, but was anything but a sure thing.
What would you rather have? A riskier homerun type of pick, or a couple of bottom 6 players?
