I too wish we choose this kid but we didn't. Janko hasn't even had a chance yet to prove himself at the next level and he was picked knowing that he was going to be a project pick. I wanna see more posts about Janko in his thread instead of posts about guys we passed on to pick him. Maybe in the future that would be fair discussion but both players still are young in their respective careers. What if Maatta pulls a Luke Schenn and regresses to a bottom pairing D?? What if Janko establishes himself as a big-game Center once he fully matures his game?? It's too young to make any sudden judgements on Janko or players relating to his draft choice.
