Ferland is a good player too but this will almost surely be his career season, and Janko is too old to get a lot better than he is. The #1c in waiting aura is definitely not there anymore.
I set the post before Kulak and Janko were drafted. They're both NHLers but not even close to being impact guys. The 2013 draft was a total failure (though the other players available are not world beaters), 2014 was awful.
2015, 2016, 2017 look alright, but none of the Flames drafted there are looking like impact guys. Maybe Andersson and Valimaki., but knowing the Flames I'm not liking their odds.

This is hilarious for its accuracy.
