But to those thinking that we could have just selected Jankowski in the 2nd round, Weisbrod disagrees:

It would look very incompetent for Weisbrod if he said of course Jankowski would be available in the 2nd round.
The Flames were eager to pick Jankowski at all costs and convinced themselves they had to have him in the first thus the pick.
I find it hard to believe that other teams had a player that wasn't in the CHL,NCAA, any European program or even the USHL as a must have 1st round pick. JMO he would have been available in the second probably the 3rd.
But whats done is done now they have to hope Jankowski can compete with a level of compitition unlike he has even played with and meanwhile put on at least 20-30lbs, he is 170lbs. He is a stand out in high school sure where would he be in OHL right now, i don't know but reality is he couldn't play in the OHL or QMJHL because of size. From his own addmission.

To put it into perspective Nemisz is 195lbs and one thing the Flames still say is he needs to get stronger.
