No it is a good pick... might be a home run. But having the expectation that he is one of the top d-men picked in the draft and soon to be in the NHL and he is the Flames #10 prospect is so much like the Robbie Schremp Edmonton homer glasses that I find it ridiculous.
There has been way too much over the top hype and not a lot of critical analysis.
I also am disappointed in the Flames press and CP on the whole why there was no explanation offered as to why he dropped so fast and so far.
That was my #1 question to be put to Conroy/Trevling/Loob is what the heck is wrong with the guy that he went from top-5 to 60.
I was hoping that he was playing hurt or with mono or had Ferland type personal problems.
He has not played any hockey that justifies more than a 6th round pick in the last 3-4 months before being drafted.
I am much more please with the Kylington pick at #60 with 5 or 6 d-man prospects ahead of him in the prospect pool than I was/am with Jankowski in the first round when the cupboard was bare.
