The main thing with Tiggy...is that i'd almost default to a Jake Virtanen comp. He plays a very similar sort of game in the Dub.
He's smaller, not as fast, doesn't have that same laserbeam of a shot. What makes him a better prospect than Virtanen?
I do think Tij maybe has a little more hockey sense...but both basically play the game with blinders on. Tunnel vision on both. Iginla is more adapted to going to the net to score the ugly goals. But there's a lot of similarity there, that'd scare the bejeepus out of me as high as he's being discussed.
Granted, i actually like Virtanen in that draft. So maybe i'm an idiot. But that skills package was just too enticing to turn down. Turns out, his off-ice stuff was trash. He never had the work ethic to get there and he had his obvious off-ice distractions and sidetracks that were probably related to that. Maybe Iginla's kid will know better and that can be huge in development. But eeeeesh...he scares me as a top pick.
