I didn't hate it as far as the player was concerned mainly because of a lack of knowledge (although all the criticism after it was made troubled me). But there is the trading down from 14 part. I suspect he would have been available anyway if the Flames had simply made a move to get just a second round pick. So they would have had, let's say, a Teravainen or Maata plus Jankowski.
