In regards to the Jankowski pick. I had a feeling then that they wanted Grigorenko if he fell into their lap and Jankowski was the next in line. Both fit the size, skill and need by position bill. Only difference between the both I think was Grigo was closer to being NHL ready.
I personally have no issue with the pick they made because it was exactly what the Flames should have been drafting in the first round. Now if they get either McKinnon or Barkov, that is two centers so close together in age that it could be a good long time before the Flames ever need to grab another top two center.
