Thread: DRAFT LINDSTROM PLUS TRADE UP FOR IGINLA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Matt1567</b></div><div>I think him and Eiserman are very similar, both are the same size, really good shooters, Eiserman is a few weeks younger and while the rest of his game may not be as good they're in the same tier for me and Eiserman isn't that highly ranked by most mocks I've seen. I look at the forwards in the draft as Celebrini being the clear #1, then Demidov Catton and Lindstrom in tier 2, and then guys like Eiserman and Iginla in tier 3, which in my opinion isn't worth trading an unprotected 1st for when we're a bottom 10 team.</div></div>

Oh yeah I completely agree trading an unprotected first next year to move up this year is a terrible idea, I was only saying that Iginla is worth the hype and IMO worth using the top 10 pick the Habs currently have to draft him is okay with me.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>While I agree with your take on the trade I do understand the Iginla hype. The kid only turns 18 in August, has good size, plays the game right, possesses a good shot and is ripping it up when it matters most rn. The Iginla name definitely doesn’t hurt either but it’s not the only reason he’s being talked up as a possible top 10 pick. Don’t be surprised if the Habs call his name with their first pick this year…I know I wouldn’t be disappointed if they did.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Matt1567</b></div><div>trading our unprotected 1st and not significantly improving the team is a recipe for disaster, and personally I don't get the Tij Iginla hype, I think he's a mid-late 1st rounder if his last name wasn't Iginla</div></div>

While I agree with your take on the trade I do understand the Iginla hype.
