Pure speculation on my part, but I don’t think Tij Iginla pursued this career path to not be as good his dad.
I would guess he’s spent every day of his hockey playing career trying to emulate, and then exceed, his father.
So far, he’s doing a good job.
He had a better draft year than his dad - 17 more goals than Jarome, and 12 more points, in eight fewer games.
He moves like his dad.
He shoots it like his dad.
Maybe he’s not a 1300 point forward.
But there’s good reasons to think he might be.
And 80% of 1300 is still a 1000 point player.
70% is 900.
Of all these kids, he might be one of the surest bets to hit his potential because he’s been guided by a Hall of Famer every day of his life.
