Helenius is more of a Playmaking/driving 200' Center. Iginla is definitely the better goal scorer but is a winger. Depends what a team is prioritizing and how they project they will perform in the NHL.

Helenius probably projects as a high end 2nd line center, Maybe a point per game top line center if he hits his ceiling.. Tij probably a top 6 winger, is he an elite top line goal scoring winger? Maybe, the scouts get to earn their money in drafts like this.
