You are so certain he is going to be a franchise player, I am not and neither are the scouting reports about him. He looks like a guy who will be a 30+ goal winger if he reaches his ceiling, he isn't going to be his dad. Still a very valuable player but the Flames I think are better served taking one of the defensemen or centres that either project to be better players or as good as Tij. From the things I have read and heard I would be absolutely shocked if Tij Iginla goes before 9. There is going to be a huge run on D men at the start of the draft and then you have 3 forwards in there that consistently look better in Lindstrom, Demidov, and Catton. I wouldn't be surprised if some teams have Eiserman ahead of Tij as well given his shot and numbers. I don't dislike Tij Iginla, I just look at the player for what he is without looking at the name on the back. Can you honestly say you would be so defensive about the player if his last name was Smith instead?

What things are you reading and hearing? Most of what I have read or heard indicates Tij will be gone before pick 9.
