Some on this board were saying it was like the Flames were securing a player who would be a top 10 draft pick in the 2013 draft by drafting him in 2012.
So I am curious, if Mark Jankowski was in this years NHL draft what draft position would he be ranked at?

Well I'm fine with Jankowski based on where he was picked but a guy with those numbers and having seen him play a few times this year, probably would go 3rd round or so. Very few college freshmen at that size with those numbers have ever gone first or second round. Still thought he should have gone USHL as initially planned. Very few can make the jump from where he was playing right into college and make an impact. Very young and raw. Jury still out of course but again, a freshman putting up those numbers wouldn't go very high in the draft even at that size and upside.
