Hitmen passed on him to take a kid who might go to the NCAA instead.

LOL Rhett was freaking out in real time during today's Barn Burner when it happened. Worth a listen for some spice on a Thursday

How do you whiff on such a clear marketing win, the name recognition and nostalgia trapping would be easy ticket sales, and clearly he was deserving of being picked that high going immediately after, just woof

All I can think of is that they felt playing in Calgary would be too much pressure for the kid?

Part of me thinks the pressure of playing in Calgary with the last name of Iginla would be tough.

The fan in me thinks it was a missed opportunity. The kid the Hitmen drafted is listed as 5'6, 106 pounds, so he must be good if he's that small (albeit at 14).

I'm going with the pressure argument. It makes it easier to stomach.

Also watched the segment about Huberdeau’s autobiography (?). Classic Rhett.
