I don't mind a project and an added pick out of it, especially one that's pretty big.

wow. No offense to Jankowski (I honestly don't know much about the guy), but I'm pretty disappointed right now that they didn't take Määttä.

He has some positive vibes coming from him. I can live with this pick.
But it seems wierd to pick a Canadian highschool player.

Time will tell.

You know the draft doesn't play out the way TSN predicts right?
Jesus, people are stupid.

Bring on the CP love.
Not a big fan, glad we picked a Center but this guy is likely to play 2014/2015.
Were a LONG way away from having another impact Prospect.

Corey Pronman from hockeyprospectus.com
Playing in a pretty obscure league, Jankowski has impressed scouts I've talked to due to his significant growth physically and from a hockey development standpoint over the last year or two. Jankowski is an above-average skater who has a nice fluid look to his movements on top of good agility and top speed, although I should note that not every scout I talked to liked his skating. Jankowski's best asset is his hockey sense, as he's an aware, creative playmaker. He was checked tightly in games this year due to his skill level and the relative low talent level of his peers but he regularly executed above-average distributions and showed the ability to make plays in tight spaces. Jankowski tries to play physical, but despite good size he is not that effective in the physical game due to a significant lack of strength and a beanpole frame. Jankowski has the puck skills and hockey sense to be a noticeable possession player but will need quite a few years of development time. He arguably has first round talent and could be a major sleeper, but due to the fact that I haven't really seen him, I don't feel comfortable putting him that high and this ranking is due to projection uncertainty as much as it is talent assessment.

I'll go on record as liking the pick.. Guy grew 6 SIX inches this season. Once he gets used to that growth and bulks a bit might translate into a real good prospect. Good hockey pedigree .
Big center smooth skater. Plus we get a 2nd
I like.

This pick is amazing. Jankowski will be the first line Center we have been waiting for.

This pick feels so clever it just has to work out. If he had been born 2 days later he would've been draft eligible next year. The flames saw his skillet and guessed he'd be a guy who'd be a higher rated player next year. Look at the as the flames stealing a top 10 pick a year in advance,

Interesting pick, but last time we drafted that far off the board was one Mr. Kris Chucko. I'm on the fence about this one.

Highly skilled. High ceiling player. Fits the bill and kudos to them for being patient with a pick like this and thinking about the future. I know nothing about him, just like I know nothing about the rest of this draft. So I guess in 5-10 years we will see if it was a good one

All I know for certain: Mark Jankowski will be the last player not named Iginla to wear a Calgary Flames jersey with #12 on it (at least until 2112).

Good player, a project, but could've probably been had at 42.
And the Flames could've gotten another high-end talent.
But I DO LIKE JANKOWSKI.

Well, at least the Flames are consistent. They consistently make me scratch my head and go...huh???
What a black hole of ######edness this organization is most of the time.
We'll see five or so years from now if this was a good decision, but...I highly doubt it.
