I like to joke about the Oilers as much as anyone else here. You think they're the same and I don't.

As for the Jankowski pick, the jury is still out on that one, but I don't see how you can argue that it addresses our needs. Even the most optimistic members here will tell you that Jankowski is 2-3 years away from being a full-time NHLer. For a GM that proclaimed our goal was to win now, getting a player that may play in 3 years does not address our needs any differently than what the 29 other GM's that re-stock their cupboards at the draft do.

Given where the Flames were drafting they did well by picking Jankowski. Unless you have one of the first 5 picks it becomes a crap shoot as to which player has the best upside and who will make it at the NHL level. For all we know, Jankowski could develop into a very good player making the Flames look good for picking him.
I seem to remember Feaster trying to get Richards to sign here and play with Iginla. That said we don't know what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to trades or going after UFA's. When a need isn't adressed it's assumed Feaster did nothing when he may have tried but players chose to sign elsewhere
