"If the Flames finish where they currently are unless they trade back I think the odds of them selecting Iginla are pretty damn slim."
= If the Flames finish with the 8th overall pick (which is a top 10 pick), they're not going to trade down to get Iggy (meaning he's not a top 10 pick).
I guess the second and third bits line up, but that first bit is really messing me up.... "unless we finish closer to 10th and above" (translation 1: unless we finish closer to a top 10 pick ... translation 2: we're probably not finishing with a top 10 pick), "some of you are going to be dissapointed if you think we're reaching for Iggy" (translation: the Flames aren't reaching for Iggy question: is "reaching" up or down?). Putting it all together... we're probably not finishing with a top 10 pick, so you're gonna be dissapointed becuase we aren't reaching (up? down?) for Iggy.
This sounds like you're saying that Iggy is going in the top 10 but we're not picking in the top 10 and we're not trading up to pick in the top 10... but then you go on to say we're biased in ranking him in the top 10, and that we're probably finishing where we are now (8th pick) and we're not trading down to get him.

When I meant 10 or above I meant drafting at 10 or later than 10. I think 10 is about as high as I can see Iginla going. Most draft guys have him between 12-16.
