The verdict hasn't gotten any better either what with the pace of his "development." Very unlikely he ever plays. He needed to basically double his production from last year to get in line with NHL-E levels of basic NHL players. He is at the same points pace as last year, no where near projecting to be a player let alone a top six player.
It's still too early to categorically call him a bust but it's never been closer. Unless he truly explodes next year then it's bust.

I agree. The Flames were prospect poor at the time and taking a stretch with the first rounder was not that wise in hindsight. Ceci, Hertl, Ternavienan, or Maata/Sieloff would have been the way to go.
Janko could pan out and save face for Feaster down the road but at the draft and a year and a half later it looked like a bad move
