[HELPNEEDED]

Dallas picked him at #13, but I was still hoping for the Flames to pick an almost NHL-ready impact forward that would join the team in a year like Sven is going to do this year.

The cupboard isn't as bare as everyone else thinks it is, but with the expectations some of us have for Sven, I don't want him to face what Iggy has had to for the past 10 years -- basically becoming the face of the franchise with no help.

If Jankowski is resembles anything like Joe Nieuwendyk and ready in 4 years, great, but I was just hoping for someone more NHL-ready to help Sven out next year (when Kipper and Iggy are another year older).

So ultimately, I'm not overly upset with the pick, just a little little disappointed.

My 2 cents.

lol you would be putting alot of pressure on Baertschi; he's going to be like Iginla? |Thats quite the lofty goal you've set for him.
