Flames Risk Big on Iginla | Calgary Flames News

The Calgary Flames stunned the hockey world by drafting Joe Iginla 65th overall — a player most scouts had ranked around 200. With a surplus of picks thanks to their GM’s savvy draft strategy, the Flames took a bold gamble on the 17-year-old, who’s already added 15 pounds and battled injuries last season. While some call it nepotism — his father is a Flames legend — Iginla was once a top junior prospect. The team hopes he follows in Josh Doan’s footsteps, returning to the Vancouver Giants next year to take on a bigger role and prove he’s more than just a family name.
