We may very well be dead last by a fair amount of points by then, but I just don't like it.

I fail to see how letting an 18 year old compete in a huge tournament is throwing in the towel.

He needs to figure out in a hurry that to make it to the next level as well as succeeding at the the college level he will need to be a lot better competitor.
If he does he should be a very good college player and subsequently a good candidate to be a quality Flames player.

You have claimed twice now about Janko's compete level, you are the only person I have ever heard mention this.
It's pretty likely you are way off base since a player with a poor compete level is unliekly to be able to adjust from playing in a Quebec Prep league to the Hockey East Conference, which is widely considered one of the toughest in the NCAA
