Was Jarome Iginla "flashy"?

Yes, he was. He wasn’t showy and dangly, but he was a bull in a China shop superstar, and came with his share of flash. Screaming down the wing and blasting a missile slap shot off the far post and in is flashy.
Guys whose offence doesn’t jump off the page in Junior rarely if ever find another level in the pros. They settle as 3rd and 4th line pluggers.
Of course I wouldn’t be mad if we found a 90 point centre at 14. I just don’t think any player likely to be available at 14 is an especially good bet to become that.
