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. |
I understand the sentimental factor. I also think Tij is a phenomenal prospect. But with our needs and given the prospects available, I want a center or a defenseman at 9.
