I had no problem with the Flames moving some futures for immediate help, but hind sight tells us we could have used a top 6 C a lot more than a top 4 D with those assets, but at the time they probably still had high hopes for Bennett, and even Janko to a certain degree.
Might say the same the following summer when Buffalo moved ROR....to the same dang team that Schenn went to. If the Flames add add either of those guys I don't think anyone is complaining right now.

I think this is where my irrational hatred of Janko stems. That season, after all of us had kept little to no expectations of that draft pick over time, he seemingly dominated in the AHL, and looked like a virtual guarantee to be a middle 6 NHL Centre. Not sure what happened to the guy but damn does he ever suck.
