Janko was the player I was hoping to get from February of his draft year forward. At the time I was disappointed because the Flames were picking at #14 and that it would be too much of a reach.

There wasn't a lot of players in that draft that were noteworthy, and I can understand why the Flames were prepared to trade that pick because the asset in trade likely would have been better than anything they would have taken if not for Janko. All the other guys from 14 through the second round are kind of mediocre except Damon Severson who was taken with the second last pick in the second round.

Janko looks like he'll be at least in the same 3rd line mold as the other guys that were taken between 14-30, but he does have the upside of being potentially more. Maatta and Ceci would be #4's on our team and we likely will have someone equally talented between Kylington/Andersson/Hickey so it's all good.
