Not sure how this is a bad thing? Vanek is a great player already while a top 5 pick is no guarantee. Heck if they gave the Flames the option to draft Vanek at number 3-5 I would jump on it in a heart beat. He's scored 40 goals twice and 30 once and has 8 straight 20 goal or more seasons, including the shortened season where he only played 38 games.
Oh, and he is only 29.
