I won't claim he's a guaranteed top line play driver but:

He was Kelowna's best player down the stretch and in the playoffs, he drove the line when playing with Szturc so much so Tampa signed him as a free agent and at the U18's he drove the line no matter who he was playing with, he was also very good on the PP.

He's 17 years old, he has all the tools and drive to project into a special player, to act like the second coming of Nostradamus and say he'll never be a top line driver is just silly IMO.
How is me stating my opinion any different than you? You have been extremely strong in your belief on how good he will be. Does that also make you Nostradamus? We are both just sharing opinions that happen to differ.

I didn't say "he'll never be a top line driver" I said this:

"I don't think Iginla can drive first line offence. I think his upside is a complementary front line player. Not a driver."

Neither of us know.
