F Tij Iginla - Kelowna Rockets, WHL (2024, 6th, UTAH)

[Artorius Horus T]

added another assist

 

[MS]

Yeah he looks like a valuable 3C imo. I’d spend a top 20 pick on that.

He's a winger. Szturc is his C.

 

[Bubbles]

2G, 2A tonight. 40G for a draft eligible player is pretty impressive.

Him & the Flames are playing their way apart

Him & the Flames are playing their way apart

Based on point % rn the flames would be picking 11th which I could see Tij going around that spot. I think theres a good chance for now that he could still end up a flame. The D in this draft will all likely go early.

I hope so that be cool story for the flames!

They might have multiple cracks at him after Hanifin & Markstrom are gone.

Late 1st's aren't gonna cut it
Hell their own might not even

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Just 8 more goals to 50!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

51 games in the WHL prior to his draft season, 6 goals, 18 points.
will score 50 goals and about 85 points in his draft season.

impressive

ps. his dad scored 33 goals and 71 points

Maybe flames could put together a package deal to a team so they can land Iginla. I think he probably go close to the 9-12 range . The more the flames win here just pushing their pick further away from landing him.

Just need him to come out publicly saying he won't report to any other team

I had my hopes set on Lindstrom/Dickenson, but we've played our way out of that range.
Then I was still OK with an Iginla consolation prize, but that is slipping away too.

1+2 game

if we’re stacking wingers, I don’t know that he is that dissimilar in terms of caliber of prospect than Eiserman

Eiserman higher goal scoring upside but I think scouts and teams will prefer Iginla's trajectory and more rounded game.

Eiserman keeps playing himself into the back end of the top 10.

Seeing him having that kind of DY season with all his pros (dynamic, gritty, skilled, good IQ, etc), don't you guys think he could be the next forward drafted after Celebrini, Demidov and Lindstrom?

I mean, there are skilled forward who'll still be available but Iginla's type of package usually translates very well to the NHL.

Do you guys think he's got 60-80 pts potential or he'll be more of a 3rd liner?

There is a high chance he goes top 10-top-15 range at least. I dont think he has the upside of Konsta Helenius or Berkly Catton but he can go easily right after these two or between. Dont think he will go before Eiserman either.

I really like Iginlas toolkit tho. He will play. One of my favourites in this draft.

 

[Siignal]

Would you rather have Iginla or Catton in the playoffs, in 5 years?

He has 27 points less than Catton in the same league.

Any GM that takes him ahead of Catton should be fired.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

2 goals tonight
- scored a game winner shorty

 

[Artorius Horus T]

45 goals and about 80 points (78).
- 10 goals, 6 assists in his last 10 games (50+ sog)

 

[LGB]

I love this player. So creative, so tenacious, so skilled. He has star potential.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

I think he can be a first line winger if everything breaks right

I like Catton a lot too but I'm sure you know as much as me that points don't mean everything in juniors.
