I think if it wasn't for Iginla we'd be more focused on one of the dmen or Lindstrom/Catton/Helenius.

Catton's regular season stats blow away Iginla and unlike say Cristall last season, Catton is a really good skater. Sure he's 5'11" but Iginla is only an inch taller. It's fair to say that if Tij had a different surname he's rarely in the conversation here for the Flames #9 pick.
