According to Stéphane Gonzalez, Kent Hughes and the Canadiens are very interested in forward Tij Iginla.
Don't be surprised if he is the Habs' first-round pick in the upcoming draft.
As you know, unless there's a huge turnaround, the CH will select between the 5th and 7th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft.
On this subject, see a very interesting piece of information.
"Per Stephane Gonzalez on BPM Sport, Habs management would've already met 4 times with Tij Iginla.
They love him and he's their main target in the 7-8 range."

@stephgonzz mentioned this afternoon that the Habs showed a lot of interest in Tij Iginla, having already met with him 4 times so far.Not surprised that he's the type of player the Canadiens management is interested in. A guy who contributes during the season but is built for the playoffs.It remains to be seen if they will be in a position to select him on June 28th.
This will be a fascinating case to watch, and a case that is likely to cause a lot of talk by June.
Iginla, 17 years old, is ranked as a top-12 overall pick in the next draft by most experts. This season in the WHL, he has accumulated 84 points, including 47 goals, in 64 games. (plus 5 goals in 3 playoff games)
He is really excellent, and yes, he is the son of a certain Jarome Iginla!
Case to follow.
