At the time I didn't know a thing about Jankowski and it worried me, but I loved the addition of the 2nd round pick and Sieloff as a result.
Then Sieloff moves to the OHL and starts taking kids apart with open ice hitting and it was looking like a good move regardless of how Jankowski panned. His making the world junior team was another success.
Shame he got hurt and stunted his development as Jankowski as a third liner and Sieloff as a 4/5 defensemen together would have been just fine.
The thing that bugged me the most was the proclamations of being the smartest guys on the draft floor.
Hopefully Jankowski does the same thing Hayes does in the show, and Sieloff gets back on track.
My rule of thumb to avoid hindsight it to always look at the two guys taken after the guy they took. In this case it's more complicated with the moved down.
