While I think it would be cool to draft him and have him play here from a purely fan point of view. I do think that for his growth as a player and a person he would be better off going to a different organization and learning how to be a professional hockey player. Out of the spotlight. Away from the over the top expectations. Not being expected to be the savior second coming.
Easier on Conroy and Iginla to make hockey decisions without having to worry about on player thats related.
Unless he is by far and away the best prospect available when they are picking I do not see them calling his name.

Or maybe he's like his dad and thrives in that type of pressure. Hard to say, but right now he likes a great prospect that we would be excited to add, regardless of his name
