It's ridiculous and pretty idiotic if they can't recognize that the picking of Jankowski isn't a representation of the Flames drafting as a whole under Feaster's regime, either.
2011 is appearing to be the best draft from the club in ages, and the other 2012 picks weren't out of place in any way from where they were picked.
Sure, I was surprised by our moves in the 1st round last year, but there isn't enough ground to be calling Feaster and co. 'unpredictable' and likely to screw up these future draft picks. To them I ask, what about Jankowski at this point can tell you that he even f-d that up?
Really they're ####ing imbeciles just falling into a pack mentality by beating up on the Flames, instead of forming their own objective or educated opinions by looking at the evidence as a whole to this point. Now I just can't wait until we hit a home run this draft and make them all eat dirt, while we make their favorite bandwagon clubs cry on the ice not too far down the road.

LOL, like how you start the bolded part with a big insult to CP'ers that do not agree with you line of thinking. I will pretend you were not refering to me in that comment.
As for "looking at the evidence" when it comes to player rankings, here is my evidence that i am scared about Weisbrod's rankings:
Last year Weisbrod said if Jankowski had been gone at 18 that they would not have had a problem with taking Seiloff with that pick. Seiloff at 18?
Now this year Feaster says that they have a 5'9" player in their rankings at 10-12. Looking at Roger Millions tweet its not hard to connect the dots that the 5'9" player could be Petan. Sorry, Petan 10-12 on the flames list?
There is reason to be scared about the flames rankings because in many interviews with Weisbrod it comes across like he is trying to reinvent the wheel. Remember Weisbrod had nothing to do with the 2011 draft and has changed the way flames rank players since he took over.
I guess to you, "forming objective and educated opinions" is thinking all is great in flames land and they can do no wrong.
