Strange pick to start Round 3
Iginla was the 65th overall pick by Calgary in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Iginla becomes the third member of his family to be drafted into the NHL, following his father, Jarome, and his brother, Tij. Of course, it's only fitting that Joe ends up in Calgary, where his dad starred for so many years. That said, this is a very strange pick otherwise. Joe was the No. 200-ranked North American skater by NHL Central Scouting, and he managed just 15 goals and 31 points in 59 WHL games in the 2025-26 season. Iginla does have time on his side, as he won't turn 18 years old until August, but virtually no one projected him to go this high.
