BTW, Monahan was the no-brainer consensus pick after Barkov and Lindholm were gone and Johnny was not a “Feaster pick”, because Feaster was notoriously not involved past the first couple rounds. What Feaster did do was trade the 14th pick in 2012 so he could move down and get Mark Jankowski. This team looks a little different with Tom Wilson, Teuvo Teravainen or Tomas Hertl (or Vasilevsky but who knows with goalies). Hell it looks better with Cody Ceci or even Zemgus.

Deryk Englland, the straw who stirred the drink. The man who was 4th in dman icetime in the playoffs, a mere 6 minutes a game less than Russell, Wideman and Brodie will forever be a Flame. Often overlooked, but never forgotten, Deryk did much more than one season Dennis ever did that year.
Let me know when Brad drafts a forward as talented as Johnny in the 4th round. I am indifferent about whether he is active in the process or whether he lets his scouts do their job. I will trust your insider knowledge though about the Mendoza line for what round Feaster ceases to get credit for the organization he managed picking a stud player.
Joel Farabee would look good in our lineup this year, but alas, we decided to trade the pick that we could have got him with for Travis Hamonic. The player we actually lost with that pick in the Jankowski draft was the great Gergenson, but I suspect if cherry picking is allowed the Hamonic trade will look horrific in 5 years (even worse than Dobson).
And the David Jones trade did cost us the one good season that Tanguay had left. The upside was that David got more goals in that playoff than Alex did in the previous 3 playoffs. He did not bring Alex's patented physical game though.
