And remind me where Iginla was drafted. Pavel Bure. Nikita Kucherov. Joe Salic. Theo Fleury.
Only because people put way too much emphasis on 15 games where he struggled to adjust to NCAA a bit.

Personally I put more emphasis on the two full seasons where he dominated the WHL as a 16 and 17 year old.

And sure maybe you get lucky and hit on a Kucherov or a Gaudreau (I'd rather focus on players from the last 20 years) but it's not some controversal opinion to state that most elite / generational players are picked in the top 5 of the draft.
