What Iginla is open to is hearing the Flames call his son’s name.

“Oh ya, I’d be okay with that, and talking to him, he likes Calgary, too,” said the longtime Flames captain who now serves as a team advisor.

“There are tons of things I loved about Calgary, obviously: great place to live, close to home, passionate hockey market.

“As far as pressure, I don’t know if there’s more — I think there’s pressure, period,” said the author of 1,300 NHL points.

“He puts it on himself. He wants to be good, it’s in his compete. He likes it.”

“He scores more on his shot than I would have at the same age, where I probably scored more goals in front of the net, off rebounds.

“I liked to work in the corners, so does he.”

He knows the city of Calgary is hoping Tij and Dad will be working together here, which he finds heartening.

“We see some of it on social media and appreciate it and that makes us feel good,” he said.

“I’ve talked to him about it, it’s really cool.

“We’re not sure how it will play out at all.

“It’s so unpredictable, but I believe it will work out the way it’s supposed to.”
