Imo tij has the same upside as his dad, who knows if he can reach it.
Every year there's a handful of draft prospects in the CHL that have produced more points than Jarome did in his draft year. Every single year since he's been drafted and there's still only one Jarome Iginla. Just because his son put up more points than his dad did in the 90's as a junior it means absolutely nothing as Tij's production is relevant only to other top prospects where he's not exactly put up elite junior numbers. The reality here is that Tij had another last name he wouldn't have his own thread here nor would many be clamoring to take him at 9.
