I mostly agree, and I think it would largely depend on how much the Flames' scouts like a Player available at 5 above the rest.
Another less hockey related aspect is a player's marketability, and Iginla jr can make the owners a lot of money. Luckily, or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, the Iginla name is going to peak this city's interest in the Flames when the new building is finished.
I just hope that we draft the new face of the franchise with that pick, and that he's going to have some success.
Personally I would love to come out of this draft, with a Markstrom trade and a drafted future 1st pairing of Buium - Yakemchuk.
