It does look like a below average draft year overall. I'm still fine with the Jankowski pick and yes, it is still early early to write him off. I mean seriously people, he was a long term project when we picked him. He likely won't be NHL ready for another 3 years. Doesn't mean he won't turn into something useful.

Trading the first round pick for Turris, yeah would have been a good move if that was offered but the reasoning for him looking around to trade the pick, not so good. One more thing is when Weisbrod was thinking of trading the pick, Turris had already been traded to Ottawa, so Turris wasn't available.
Really I don't know anyone who has written him off, that's just a made up argument. The problem is IMO Feaster could have easily made a better pick. Not fair to Jankowski, I admit.
