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

At first I was thinking he was just a soft spot goal scorer but it seems he's adding more to his game.

He's going top 15.

He's going top 15.

He built up muscle last summer, probably does this summer as well
weighs now 188 lbs (i'm guessing around 200 lbs after the summer)

He's a power forward. What I feel is that his mentality is getting more and more composed. When he arrived in Kelowna, he was desperate to prove himself because he didn't get many chances in Seattle, but at that time he just wanted to keep the puck then shot, not think about his teammates. Now he fits in this team well

Hello everyone,

Here's my video scouting report on Tij Iginla

 

[BoneHutson]

Ok, that kid is great. Looks like the typical projected to go in the 3rd at the start of the season but ends up being a top 10 pick kinda guy.

He's the mirror image of his old man. The difference is that Jarome was feistier and grittier, but Tij is much faster. The shots are pretty much the same.

I wouldn't go that far.

He's a top 6 talent that doesn't mind getting involved physically but power forward is a stretch.

I wonder if Seattle is regretting that trade now.

Tij seems to work so hard that it's easy to believe that he will end up having his dad's value as a player, hope the Canucks nab him.

Tij would be on the 1st line in Seattle this year, but who knows. They needed to recoup their cupboard, and they're on their downswing now.

Sure I kind of get it but man Tij is making this deal look like a blowout and Seattle has some decent 16 and 17 year olds but I guess there were really short on picks.

That reminds someone mentioned in another thread where one can go find traded WHL draft picks.

That might shed more light on it.

 

[FourQuarters]

No, Kelowna paid a lot, in this year's market, Tij's price is near to Savoie.

One game of Iginla:

 

[ZDH]

Pretty obvious he's not making it past Calgary at the draft...

 

[HitterD]

Pretty obvious he's not making it past Calgary at the draft...

Don't be so sure. With Jarome working for the Flames it would seem even more obvious but I also think that he may feel that his son playing for the team that he was a legend on, might be unneeded pressure as well. Hard to say for sure but its going to be interesting if he's on the board when the Flames come up. How can you pass on him if you are Uncle Conroy? haha

They’ll potentially picking in the range where he would be considered a reach.

We’ll see what assets they get for Hanifin, Lindholm, and Tanev, but it’s not exactly a lock. As much as I like his game

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

He’s Jarome Iginla’s son.

This is like Keith and Matthew Tkachuk, but better - if Tij Iginla is there, they’ll sprint to the podium, and they’ll get Jarome Iginla tailored to the modern game.

As a fanbase, since we’re never going to get the 1st overall pick, we are owed.

We are owed.

[Oscar The Grouch]

Looks like he could be a 35 G 30 A player in the NHL.

[Artorius Horus T]

thank you very much!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

work horse, works so hard, his game without the puck is also really impressive,
always working on openings, always thinking about the next move,
where the puck and his line mates will be.. great stuff, phenomenal with the puck

 

[Peasy]

What is there not to like about his game?

I know this draft is really wide open but I'm always surprised not seeing him ranked around 10 more consistently. But I guess people will tend to put higher value on the C's/D's.

 

[Sacha BOXviert]

This player represents everything Kyle Davidson likes

 

[User1996]

He’s like a better skating Jarome. Watching him gives me deja vu.
