Agree with most takes here. Fine with taking him if he is there at 9...but dont' trade up...if he's gone that just means one of Catton, Lindstrom, etc is still there.

When I look at the names I have 8 guys that I would almost for sure* take ahead of Iginla and a couple other guys that I would have as roughly on par with him. Either some team takes him before us... which is great because it means at least 1 of those guys is there for us to take, some team takes some some other guy and 1 of those 8 guys is available for us to take, or all 8 of those guys are gone in which case Iginla is there for the taking if we think he's the best available at 9.
Under zero circumstances should we be sacrificing assets in order to specifically take him.
*Assuming there aren't any unknown to us reasons to have them lower (permanent injury/raging drug problem/pending criminal charges etc. etc).
