I wouldn't worry about that. The flames fell in love with the potential Jankowski showed and I think it was a great pick personally. Teravainen is another small winger that wouldn't have allowed the flames to land the 2nd round pick. Jankowski is big, smart and skilled. The only knack on him is his competition and development time. He played pretty good in te NCAA this year but is still likely 3 years from turning pro. The flames had the 14th pick in what is being called a pretty mediocre draft to me it was the perfect time to swing for the fences
