I would bet if Iginla is there at 9 the Flames draft him. If they don't it will be a PR nightmare. I have said all along they should take the BPA but I don't see how they can do that in this situation. Unless Jarome has reservations about Tij playing in Calgary I just don't see them passing on him. In the end it's a business and you have to keep your customers happy, plus it isn't like the player is not worthy of being drafted 9th.
