And because of his age I can't see his numbers going down at all, maybe you missed it but Tij looked pretty at center at the U18's and if Cristall stays in Kelowna Tij will likely be his center, if not Gojsic will be his winger, either he's going to get a lot of points IMO.

I didn't miss it at all, he got a few shifts at centre at the U18's because of players not being available to Canada. He was played as a winger. Comparing Tij Iginla to Leon Draisaitl is a huge reach, I certainly am not the biggest Draisaitl fan but the odds of him being as good as Draisaitl are extremely slim. Hell, the odds of Celebrini being as good as Draisaitl are actually fairly low. This is my concern in drafting Tij, some fans are having some serious unrealistic expectations and when he doesn't win Art Ross trophy's or Hart trophy's there is going to be disappointment. I still think his offense is going to take a considerable hit playing centre, they can try it though.
