My only concern with Tij is that we are fairly loaded up on the wings. If the plan is to give Zary a full season at center to see if he can make the cut there, it still leaves us pretty loaded on the top 6. Huberdeau, Kuzmenko, Sharangovich, Coronato (hopefully he gets some real time with Huberdeau to build chemistry next season). Pelletier is still in the wings and he has middle 6 potential. Mangiapane and Coleman seem to be permanent fixtures on the third line. And Pospisil had success on the 2nd line, but that's also on a bad team, and realistically he is a 4th line winger mayber 3rd line at best. I could see Kuzmenko or Sharangovich being traded if they continue trending upward. Iginla could end up seeing a couple years development before joining the big club. This club had need at center, and there are some very good defensive prospects projected in the 7-11 spot. I can't imagine Catton or Lindstrom dropping to 9th overall, and though I like Helenius more than most, but I doubt management would agree with me to takehim over Iginla.
