Why is that? The "conventional wisdom" pick of last years draft at #6 was Monahan. Could you imagine if Feaster went off the board again and picked some relatively unknown kid, while Monahan fell to the Oilers? So why is it ok for Feaster to go off the board with the 2012 pick, when the conventional pick is already in the NHL on a very good Penguins team? Plus Maatta is a defenceman, which the Flames are sorely lacking in their development system

I never liked the Jankowski pick from the start, this just makes it worse
