What would Tij Iginla potentially bring to the table if he was selected 13th overall?
"He's an excellent skater who can beat you in a straight-out race, cut past you laterally with quick weight shifts, or build speed through tight crossover patterns around the offensive zone. On the puck, he's a threatening individual creator who can create in knifing bursts and works quickly to put defenders on their heels, attacking on angles and jumps. Off of it, he's got great instincts for jumping into gaps in coverage to get open for his linemates. His snapshot, which has a traditional look to it and is more wrists and leverage than the curl-and-drag you commonly see now, is a major weapon, consistently beating goalies cleanly with both its pop and how quickly it comes off. He's got high-end handling (he’s got impressive hands in tight and always seems to handle his first touch at speed, even when pucks are put into his feet) and adjustability, which blends with real creativity to create an often-dynamic one-on-one player. He's also a fan-favorite type who gets after it on the forecheck and involves himself in the play often with some sneaky strength (though I think his defensive awareness and consistency still need to come). Add in NHL puck skill and a dangerous and heavy wrister from midrange, and you've got a fun player and prospect."

"Iginla will slide in easily to a top-six spot in the future. He already has plenty of pro habits, and as he continues to build strength, he’ll become a dangerous sniper who will be impossible to knock off the puck. I think his style of game is similar to Chris Kreider’s as both players are hard-working, goal-scoring wingers who aren’t afraid to use physicality. But it’s not their preferred method, and they instead rely on high intelligence and superior puck-handling to create opportunities. However, even if he doesn’t reach that potential, he’ll be a sure-fire NHLer in two to three seasons."
