Surprised to see that Yakemchuk isn’t a more popular choice. Watched him several times this year in person and the upside is significant. Scorp was talking on a recent After Burner that a good upside comparable being Dougie Hamilton.
6’3” RHS who has a bomb and is an active offensive force from the backend might be too good to pass up if he’s still there 8-12. I think Wheeler has him at 4, he’s been climbing on most draft boards I’ve seen don’t is likely he’s gone by that range anyway.
The Flames can’t afford to pick Iginla on name value. I’d be happy if they’re able to pick BPA at their spot and try to acquire another mid round pick to grab Iginla if they want him. Seems like Tij may be a reach where the Flames are projected to be at this point.
