Not offering Janko a contract might be the dumbest idea I've heard in a while.

But I guess at least they got Seiloff with that pick, right?

They got the 42nd pick by trading down. Which is pretty darn good value.
Flames would have picked 44th, if not for the Regehr trade (IMO the only true blunder Feaster made). It's too bad they didn't have that pick to trade up from.
