I don't how some people still don't grasp this.
Nothing has changed.
When the Flames picked Janko they knew he would
- Not make the NHL for a number of years
- Go to University to play his hockey
- That there would likely be several guys selected before or even after him that made the NHL before he did

So to say that it was a 'bad decision' when nothing except what EVERYONE KNEW WOULD HAPPEN has happened - is just a really poor way to assess this.

The only way you could call this a bad decision right now is if Janko wasn't a legit prospect still. He is. So you can't.
