I do wonder if Iginla would have wanted the Hitmen to draft his kids.

It's a lot of added pressure for his kids in Calgary.

One thing to have to deal with that pressure in the NHL, and really if you're a 1st round pick in the NHL you're going to have pressure no matter what.

But no real upside to have your kids have to deal with that pressure when they are 16 and 17 years old in the WHL.
