Jankowski was.
You picked Sebastien Collberg
It is just too easy to cherry pick who they SHOULD have picked years later.
EDIT: I'm not sure if everyone figured Hertl would be gone by then which is why he wasn't on the poll at all. That could be the case - can't recall |
Hindsight is 20/20, but damn... the others listed:
Teravainen
Ceci
Maatta
... were all right around where we should have picked. Two have already played in the NHL already (not including Hertl), and all four have been consensus good picks.
I still wonder why we knew something others didn't. It's too early to tell with Janko, but I would have been happy with those other four - all discussed, right on this board, as players Calgary should potentially pick.
