Iginla we also forgot. I feel like Iginla JR will be like dad but we will see.

Quite a few of these kids were highly hyped when drafted. So, if we are dismissing people like Kapanen, Griffin Reinhart, Alexander Nylander, Logan Brown, etc. we sort of have to wait for Tij Iginla to prove it in the NHL. Iginla's dad is clearly the best player of the ones we have mentioned so far.

For example, I haven't seen many mentions of Cole Sillinger yet. Who is at least an established NHLer and was a 12th overall pick in 2021.

edit: Oliver Bonk is also a pretty established prospect too, but we need to see him in the NHL to include him in this list.

Okay Pittsburgh! It’s future considerations time! You have to take Kapanen too…,

Sanderson, Greig, Nylander, Kapanen, Jake Leshychyn. Dad’s were all Whalers.

Poulin, Primeau, Nikolishin, Cassels…not all made it. Colin Wilson. Logan Brown?

Avs currently have five guys who’s Dad’s played.

Does he still do the thing where he flies into the zone on the wing at super speed, does a button hook, then lose the puck?

Oh my gosh I haven't thought of Mason Raymond in years....
