Probably ranks above selecting Mark Jankowski from some no-name high school as a first round pick.
Flames are being laughed at across the league right now.

It's not even close as far as a comparison goes. One is a coach going with his gut and maybe (and given his options it's a pretty big maybe) missing out on a goal which would have maybe (and its also a big maybe) gotten the Flames into the POs (remembering that the odds were long anyway).
The other is a blunder which cost the team a stud player for many many years in one of Teravainen, Hertl, Wilson or Vasilevksy in exchange for a guy who would have been picked 40th or so.
