Tij Iginla turns 18 in August, Demidov turns 19 four months later in December. No birth days aren't the be all and end all but Iginla can make up a lot of development in the next year. We've seen how much he's grown in the last four. Celebrini is #1 but I think Iginla is in that next group.

IMO this is the true start of the build and the next two drafts are probably more important. Load up if you can but drafting multiple 1sts in the next two seasons is just as if not more importantt
