If they could move into a higher pick (which I think is unlikely frankly, but for shiggles) I would far rather they draft a dman in that spot as I think at leaset 1-2 will be available still. Coming out of that draft with your future #1 centre ane future #1 dman would be a nice bit of business.
I think folks are getting tunnel vision on Tij.

For the purpose of the hypothetical, I just used the draft rankings and the positions of teams in the current standings outside of Calgary because my question is what would other fans on here be willing to trade to have another first round pick in the top 10… and the potential of Iginla being there.
I agree that, despite the rankings, I think Lindstrom will go top 3-4 in the draft. Right now, I’m just using these particular draft rankings for this exercise.
