Disagree, local media has said there was and still is today, talk about Bouwmeester (they won't need to ask him to waive until there is a legitimate offer on the table and I assume that the offers are far from Calgary's expectations).
I would not know, how they (the Flames) knew Jankowski would've been selected in the first round had they not taken him, it is likely they were told that after the first round by other teams, but then again it's hard to say those teams would have followed through.
