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.

You keep telling people to stop arguing their points about the prospect. Yet here you are arguing your points about the prospect. It was a controversial pick, he is a controversial prospect, this is a Mark Jankowski thread on a hockey message board, clearly there is going to be discussion regarding peoples opinion of the pick / prospect.
It was a bad gamble. That is my opinion. As far as I know I am welcome to have one. Will it turn out to be a bad pick? Time will tell, but right now it doesn't look very good (again, my opinion).
EDIT: To your point, I agree with you that the pick is made, the management that made the pick is gone, and the only thing left to do is cheer for the prospect to be successful. I am cheering for the prospect. I am excited when he manages a two goal weekend. I thought he looked really good at development camp and I am looking forward to seeing him this summer. On an academic level the debate continues on whether it was the right gamble to select him, and I have my opinions on that. Debating and discussing Flames hockey is fun, its why we are here, and none of what we do is particularly purposeful.
