Sarcastically, yes
But you caught my drift which was just the point, in that his junior team has little relevance. It's his potential and work ethic we're interested in.
But I totally agree that this isn't something I want to see happen often (and was none too pleased when the selection was first made) but was certainly a prospect to put in your pocket for use later. And, to be fair, all the selections made from Girgensons to Pearson that were available to us at the time wouldn't have helped our current position anyway.
The future will only tell, but Calgary is a few years from being competitive anyway. It'll be interesting to see which one of Jankowski, Girgensons, Hertl, Laughto, Gaunce, Samuelsson and Matteau turn out to be the center Calgary needs. My money is still on Jankowski.
But, once again... not something I want to see Feaster making a habit of.
