Come on now moon. Jankowski may be physically immature right now, but he is a good skater and has good puck skills. He definitely has more skill than any of those players. Doesn't mean he'll be the better player, but if he does make it, he'll definitely be the most valuable.

I love the Jankowski pick as much as you do, but doesn't mean Wilson, Laughton and Gaunce are garbage. Mike Richards, Kesler, Lucic. There's no way that they were ever projected to put up 60+ points when drafted. There's no way we thought Glencross would put up mid 20's in goals when drafted.
I think Nemisz will get retained for at least another year. Its not like Calgary is overflowing with prospects in Abbotsford right now.
