We get it, you dont think hes going to be as good as some others do, you want someone else.

Some of us believe he is going to be a very impactful player. Not just because of his last name as you keep trotting out but because of the way he plays hockey. He has a complete game.

I believe who ever is lucky enough to draft him is going to be very happy.
Show me where I have been pissing on Iginla? Not once have I done that, I have just called out posters who are overhyping the player because of whom his father is, like yourself. Don't feed me a line of bs about his name not influencing your bias toward the player, if his name was Tij Smith we wouldn't be having this conversation. I pushed back against people who think he is better than he is and I have consistently had him ranked around 10. Guess where other draft guys like Bob Mac and others have him? Are you claiming to know more than pro scouts or draft gurus? The Flames should take the BPA whether that is Iginla or not. My concern is the Flames draft him and he doesn't become a franchise player and then posters like yourself will piss on him because he didn't live up to your unrealistic expectations.
