Some more on Tij Iginla....
From what I have heard and I get very small crumbs is that wherever Tij does end up, its been "green lighted" by his dad so to speak. The belief is that everyone has been given that opportunity that if they want to pick him, they can.
However and this is just my personal opinion-- human nature makes it very difficult to avoid back channeling etc. I mean Jarome becomes assistant to Conroy at a very very convenient time. So I do think there is a decent chance that Flames end up with Tij Iginla. There's a lot of mind games that go on....he's getting ranked at #3??? Everyone (especially these media guys) serve a master and to an effect carry out their agenda. All of a sudden 2-4 weeks before draft, he starts jumping from 8-12 to top 5?.....Ok there. Anyway this is just me being skeptical and is completely 100% my personal opinion.
