If you can't acknowledge that drafting a really young kid playing in high school wasn't a higher risk than drafting players like Maata than ...
Trade freeze lifts in 8 hours. If you are Burke and the phone rings and it is Shero offering you Maata for Jankowski do you take it? Because there are 30 NHL GMs that almost certainly would take that trade.
My point isn't that Jankowski doesn't have potential. It is that drafting him wasn't the right decision given the Flames situation, the uncertainty around Jankowski, and the alternative prospects that were available to the Flames at both 14 and 21.

Then that would mean you don't agree with a decision made by the previous management. Why keep rehashing the merits of their decision long after the people who made that decision have been dismissed? It just seems pointless and comes across as dumping on a 19 year old kid. There are no more people to fire now. Stop attaching this stigma to a guy who is now just another developing prospect, at least not in a thread which was created to follow his development.
