Seemed like a pick with too much bust potential which I didn't like given we desperately needed to find NHL players. If you wanted a big center a guy like Tomas Hertl seems like it would be a much safer pick. I know some guys on here really liked Hertl and wanted him at 14. I guess whoever was in charge didn't feel the same unfortunately.

This is all true but on the other hand it seems like it was either Jankowski or trade the pick for our management. This was probably the less disastrous choice.
