There are two different conversations going on here in my mind.
1) Is Iginla on scouting lists in the top five because of his name, and therefore not a worthy pick at 9? I'd say no.
2) is Iginla in the minds of Calgary hockey fans, resulting in a pining that exceeds his value vs other top ten picks? I'd say yes.
