Makes me wonder if we are over estimating his recent rise, and under estimating the chances of him being available at 9

In the comments on Wheeler’s most recent Athletic article someone asked him about Iginla. He said:
Quote:
From my notes: "Hands in tight to his body on little curls into his feet, or even catching pucks into his feet and onto his stick in one motion at speed, were repeatedly noticeable. Can attack from the outside, take pucks in, play on feel and touch from the perimeter or drive and strength/skating. Looked like he constantly had a step on opposing D with his skating. Can win pucks when he applies himself. Not dominant but his skill showed up in some big moments and he looked the part of a top player/prospect behind the McKenna/Martone duo offensively. Impactful on PP."
