Not sure if it is true, but I remember hearing that Janko was the only guy NJ was really considering for their 29th Pick. they ended up with Stephan Matteau instead.
I think the flamese were not willing to go below 28 and Buffalo offered the highest 2nd round pick. In retrospect there are 5 or 6 guys that look pretty good right now. But I don't think any of those 5 or 6 look good enough that Seiloff + Janowski couldn't be better than them in 3 -5 years. But both those guys still have a long way to go.
