I get the Iginla infatuation but the Flames are so starved for a franchise talent that I just don't know how they could pass on Catton if he's available at 9.

A good comparable is Clayton Keller. Drafted 7th OA as a C, plays in the NHL as a winger, and now sitting at fourth in his draft year in points. He probably goes a couple spots higher in a redraft.
