I would. Especially if I’m the guy in the Flames front office in charge of selling boxes and tix in the new building….

You would trade a 4th overall and another 1st for Tij? I get it, his dad's a legend, but I don't think there's been enough progression since the draft that I would trade any more than the 4th overall for him, and that would depend entirely on who was left after the first 3 picks. Tij will be a great power forward, but I don't think he's going to be his dad. He might not even be a top 3 forward on a deep team. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have him as a Flame, but I think some people might be overvaluing him relative to other potential assets. And that might just be because of who his dad is. And I would worry that Conroy might overpay for him because of who his dad is.
Sign him as a free agent once he's had time to develop his game away from the pressures of following in his dad's footsteps in Calgary.
