Me too, I was never as negative as some posters. I loved the pick with the future in mind at the time. I thought, if Jankowski can develop each year in college they may very well have a big Joel Otto type center that can play defensively all while being able to chip in on the offensive but without the PIM's and definitely not as tough to play against,unless he grabs a mean streak somewhere.
His development trajectory at the time of the draft put him around 5 years to be pushing for a spot, which in my mind was perfect for the Flames. He would be coming in to a team just coming in to their own. Looks like we are very close to seeing what he can do in the NHL. I'm Much Excite!
