Regardless of your answer, your point doesn't make a lot of sense. It's not like the next bunch of picks have all contributed a whole lot more than Janko so far.

Of the rest of the first round (including Janko):
2 have played more than a season (Maata, Pearson)
4 have played a season or less (Matheson, Gaunce, Skjei, Matteau)
4 have played <5 games (Janko, Subban, Schmaltz, Samuelsson)

So, the only guys way ahead of Janko are Maata and Pearson. Janko looks poised to make the NHL next year in a bottom six role. It's not like using the pick on him was a poor choice based on the guys chosen after him. He could still have a more significant career than a lot of first rounders.

Acting like a late 1st rounder taking 5 years to make is an awful thing doesn't make sense to me.
