Absolutely. A draft like that has the potential to set the flames up at center ice for the rebuild. Tij is listed as a center but I’m not sure if he will project to be a winger or centerman at the NHL level but, if he did, the flames in 3-4 years could have Lindstrom-Zary-Iginla up the middle.
Both Tij and Lindstrom are younger guys in this draft so they both likely need a few extra years of development till they reach their potential.
