Now, I also think it's quite possibly a moot point because Iginla could already be off the board. And that's the scenario I'm rooting for, to be honest ... it would absolve the Flames from making that call at 9. And honestly, it might also be just better for Tij to go somewhere where he doesn't have the pressure of being the son of the franchise's greatest player. |
Exactly what I am hoping to see.
- It avoids the pressure - both for the Flames and for Iginla - that would build if they pick him.
- It avoids the #### show that would ensue if the Flames passed on him
- It pushes one of the guys that I do want, down to us
- It almost certainly means we take a C or a D
It's better for everyone. Come on, MTL, do us a solid and take him at #5
