Folks are saying the same things about Tij that they said about his dad back in the day. He is a game breaker.

I'm all in on Tij and don't disagree about his potential, but this isn't the 1995 draft, and there could be a Cale Makar or a Victor Hedman or an Alex Barkov in the top 10 of this draft (besides Celebrini).
That's why there's so much of a discussion. And while I'd be pumped to get Iginla, I'd also be good with a number of other prospects here.
If Tij is available at 9 and he's up against Catton, Helenius and Yakemchuk, then I'd probably be disappointed if they didn't draft Iginla. But if Silayev, Levshunov, Demidov, Lindstrom or one of the other three top defenders are still there, I sure hope the Flames' management has taken an incredibly hard look at each and not just automatically picks Iginla.
If they take him over those guys, I'd still be happy with him, but they shouldn't just assume he's going to 100% turn out like his dad and take him regardless.
