How much worse can a first round pick get than a 2012 29th overall pick?
2013 was expected to be a better draft and its pretty easy to admit your team probably wont make it to the finals in 2014 so why not forfit it in 2012?
They must have really liked Stefan Matteau...!?

I'm not sure how much validity there is to this, but I once read a rumour that New Jersey kept their 2012 1st because they were targeting Jankowski and thought he would fall to them at 29th due to his age and lack of exposure because of the obscure league he played in. Maybe that was just wishful thinking on the part of a Calgary fan, but I can see the logic behind it if the Devils really felt Janko would be one of the better players to emerge from the 2012 draft.
