The only thing which bothers me about the Janko pick is that Olli Maatta is playing so freaking well. How much of that is due to being on a stacked Penguins team? He looks great, and is playing some solid minutes, but the Penguins are so deep that they can shelter him a bit when he's not playing well.
I don't think Maatta would look as solid on a young Flames team where he would by default be a 1st-pairing defenceman and any weaknesses exposed on a game-by-game basis. That being said, Maatta is on an Olympic roster at his age which is damned impressive.
Argh... I still like the Janko pick though.
