All the other positions are much easier to fill. Finding #1 Cs is next to impossible, other than drafting top 3. The Flames, with no top C for the past 20 years, know this better than any team - as do the fans, as per all the conversations about it over the last several years and at the time f the Janko pick.
They took a shot and it was an intelligently calculated gamble. We'll see if it pays off. But this new hind-sight, flavor-of-the-day view that the Flames were in no position to gamble is laughable.
