I like Tij Iginla. He's a great player. I don't like him for the Flames. For his sake.
The craze about drafting him should be red flag enough about how things will go for him. Just unrealistic expectations.
Means nothing though I suppose. My hunch has been he's going to MTL at 5. Feels like the worst kept secret in hockey.
As for Lindstrom, I'm trying to figure out the risk assessment of drafting him at 9 if he falls away from Columbus at 4 as I don't see any other team taking him over D men or Iggy after the Blue Jackets.
Personally I make the pick for Lindstrom, he's still my number 1 player on my list. If the Flames do take him at 9 I'm confident that they've done the homework on his injury rumors to feel comfortable taking him.
Im still thinking it Helenius until Conny calls another name at the podium though. Just screams Flames M/O type player.
