My observation is that there is far more of a bias in favor of the player than against.
And again, none of us really know, so all the views should be considered acceptable and good discussion.

It's a weird topic inside of a weird draft. There's a camp who seems to be certain that there's no way he's available at 10 - he's just that good. I think these guys are overwhelmed by the pedigree. There's a camp that wants to avoid him and will argue against anything that suggests he's a fit and the Flames should take him. This is the "Flames can't win no matter what so I'm arguing the downside of everything" side.
To me, if he's around at 10 he is a good bet, wing or centre. There are previous few centres in the top of this draft anyway. And the defencemen all seem to have question marks in some aspect, just as much as Iginla (who only seems to have position as his).
