You are right though, it’s just as dangerous to assume he will be as good as his dad as it is to dismiss him.

Hockey is supposed to be fun though, so I’m willing to take Iginla and hope like hell that he takes a similar path to his dad, in Calgary
I expect that he's actually ranked a bit higher because of his Dad. Genetics is a thing.

Depends on where Calgary drafts. If he falls to where they think he is the BPA (or close to it), I'd pick him also. But no way I reach for him.

But we have no idea where Calgary projects him to be worth. It could be #2 for all we know, or #20. And if they pick him, I assume that Conroy will say they had him ranked much higher. Like most GM's do.
