Max Reinhart isn't a 24 year old tweener, he's going to be a 24 year old AHL player. If Jankowski develops into a third line tweener that's obviously better.
Don't know if we have more bottom 6 talent then we have room for.
The point? To develop Jankowski and see what we have. We could draft another Grandlund, Wotherspoon or Hunter Smith in the 2nd round too I guess, but Jankowski is just as good as any of those prospects in the 2nd round, and we couldn't have to wait another 3-4 years.

And can you elaborate on how the Flames have put a lot of time into his development?

Simple fact he's been in the system for three years, that's all.
