I asked if they may draft Tij with all the pressure of being in the same organization his dad was such a big figure in and he told a story of how a few years back they actually targeted Adam Lowry and decided not to take him because Dave Lowry was in the organization. He eluded this to be a mistake. He then said he would fire Jarome if he had to to get his son in the organization lol. It was in humor but I do believe they would draft him if possible.

That’s very refreshing to hear. If he’s the best player available where you draft, you should absolutely take him. The fact that it would be an amazing story for the Iginla family and for flames fans would be a bonus. I would love for the flames to somehow get another first round pick within the top 20… right now, getting a first round pick from New Jersey or Arizona in a Hanifin trade might be the best chance at that. Using that pick on Tij Iginla would be amazing if everything worked out that way.
