I don't think anybody had an issue with the idea of trading down and taking Janikowski UNTIL Teravainen was still available. Having the guy ranked 7th overall, who was also young in his draft year and also was a huge riser made Janikowski a tough sell.
However the Flames drafted by the "list" and it sounds like Janikowski was number one on our list and I will trust our scouts who have seen the players in person on that one.
