Your entire perception of this pick and how it went down is really off the mark.

He went around where Craig Button, who likely has a pipeline into our room, projected him to go. That's not "many". Also the claims of "other teams were going to take him in the first round" which only come from our team sources don't really do much for me.
Either way, I hope I'm totally off base with my thoughts on Jankowski, because we need a player like they think he's going to be.
