I think the other error you could identify is moving down. I don't see a lot of impactful players after Jankowski but if they had held on to their pick, there were some guys around there. Particularly since the 2nd pick was Patrick Sieloff who was a terrible pick that day and every day after.

If I recall want it an illness and an injury that ended his career: seiloff?
He was touted as being a really good hitter and skater. The only way i don’t like a pick like him is due to his size. He just was a bit above average and his style took a toll on his body. Yeah sad draft considering vasilevski was picked at 15.
I liked the jankowski pick. He was 6’2 when we drafted him and he shot up to 6’5. I didn’t like providence as a development program for him though. They were super low scoring. Anyway jank looked ok on the PK here. He was a a decent player that just never stuck. He had some flashes with Nashville too. Ah well didn’t happen. But I agree with you Jiri taking a chance in big swift skating centermen see why I want Lindstrom.
Those PWFs from the OHL look intriguing too. Sandman was plugging them. Good draft to have multiple picks.
