Lets say Jankowski puts on 30lbs and puts up MVP type numbers the next 2 years, all of a sudden he goes from being a joke Feaster pick to being a huge 6'4 220lb point producing center and the best player in college but because maybe he might like playing closer to home in the east decides to wait till Aug 2016 and becomes a UFA to pick his own team..
And this before his 22nd birthday.

After all the back and forth over that pick, what it could have been, what it might be, that would be a hilarious bookend to the Feaster tenure of the Flames.
