I'm trying my hardest not to use "truculent," but Brian Burke is right in that regard. Power forwards get penalty minutes, it's just the cost of doing business for playing that style of hockey. Players that don't get penalty minutes are not power forwards, I don't care what size they are.

Drafting by position is one thing but I don't think it's that smart to favour a prospect according to projected line combinations.

Dal Colle seems to be the pure goal scorer in the top 5 this year and probably the closest thing to Iggy in that regard. Going off of projected line combinations, Dal Colle - Monahan - Poirier seems to have what you need. idk
