I don't know about that. Everyone expected Conroy to announce Love as the head coach and he hired a guy that was really not expected to be a factor in the coaching race. Seems like he's following his vision and I don't think that he's going to let the Iginla relationship factor into the player he takes and I don't think scouts that have worked all year are going to just cross off the guys they scouted and loved because one of the other prospects last name is Iginla. The reality here is that if Tig had a different surname, we aren't even discussing him as a possibility at 9 as winger isn't an organization need so that will factor in with the decision making.
I think he looks like a solid prospect and wouldn't be upset if the Flames take him but I don't think it's a sure thing by any means.
