Doan played on the Blazers second line and got a lot more PP time. Iginla was on the third line, and not a lot of PP time. I remember the hockeynews had Iginla and Berard as the two 5 star prospects of that draft.
Was he considered to be a high risk/high reward kind of guys? Is that how he made it to 11, when the other 5 star prospect went first?
