I want the flames to get Iginla so much. It’s doubtful he will be there for their pick at this point but you never know. I love seeing upward trajectory from prospects and Iginla has shown that more than any other draft-eligible player. Especially great that he is one of the younger players in the draft class… makes his production and development this year even more impressive.
Obviously the big story with drafting him would be the connection he and his dad have with Calgary… it would be an incredible story that the fans would go crazy for. Which is great. It’s great for the fans to have something like that. But that is just a bonus. In a vacuum, if his name was not iginla and we just looked at that draft profile, his age, the numbers he put up and the fact that he is a center… he would be a fantastic pickup. If he is available at the flames pick, I think he would be a fantastic selection.
