They would also have much safer bet to start moving the team in the right direction on their hands. I have not interest in arguing about who could be better in a few years, especially when you're not willing to concede that a 19 year old player who's a regular in the NHL is just as special as what we have with Monohan. If you can't see that, I find it equally laughable.

At the time of the draft the Flames had zero centre prospects with top 6 potential and zero centre prospects with size. Jankowski looks less vital now with the drafting of Monahan, and the acquisitions of Knight and Colborne and the emergence of Reinhart and Granlund.
I assume by Monahan you mean Jankowski since Monahan hasn't even been mentioned. And I never said anyone wasn't as special as jankowski. I am saying it's too soon to make absolute statements on anyone that was drafted in 2012.
It would be like declaring Steve Bernier better than Ryan Kesler when Bernier had 14 goals in his first 39 NHL games. You simply do not know who is a late bloomer, who will top out younger or even who will get hurt.
Why not just try supporting the players we do have instead of bitch and cry about the ones we don't?
