His picks didn't even play in the NHL most of the time. Maatta is in the league two years after being drafted.

He was on peoples radar along with 5 other guys including Janko in the original poll. You don't get to compare Janko to Teravainenm, Matta, Girgensonss, Ceci, etc. You get to compare him to one guy. We would be having this same conversation if Ceci or Girgensonss were excelling and that isn't fair to the draft organzation.
