Article from Chris Butler about getting to 400.

It’s quite likely he’s had the career he’s had because he was a first round pick. So many more opportunities and development resources go into first rounders.

What a weird draft class. the top 4 were all disappointments. But after that some real gems.
Yeah. Serviceable player. Cant complain too much about that. He didnt emerge to be a game-breaker, but he's been a consistent NHLer.

Fair enough, but he's also got almost 400 NHL games.

I feel like Janko has a history of popping early with a new team.

Scored the 1st of the NHL season a few years back (there's your opening Scorp) and IIRC he popped his 1st of his college career in his first game many years ago.

Didn't he also go on a bit of a streak when he first landed in NSH?

Is John Weisbrod still employed by an NHL team?

wasn't the rumour that the Flames had Morgan Rielly at 1? Might be wrong though.

He’ll still be known as the worst flame ever who bagged the chick who rode the Calgary Stampeders celebration horse.

No one knows him as that and thankfully most people over 19 don't care.

Yea, very weird draft. 2012 is definitely a good draft to look at when people get a bit too high/low about their teams picks right after a draft.

-None of the top 4 picks has been in the NHL for the last 2 years
-Have some very good defenseman, a couple high end forwards, but is a somewhat weak draft overall
-Produced two of the best goalies of this era in the NHL in Hellebuyck and Vasilevskiy
-A hilariously poor draft for the Oilers with Yakupov, Moroz, Gustaffson (didn't sign), Reinhart (traded a 1st and 2nd for)

All things considered, Jankowski ended up being ok value for the Flames at 21 overall. I'm happy to see him keep a job down elsewhere in the NHL.

That said, I'm very curious who the Flames would've picked at 14. Every player picked from 14 to 21st has had a better NHL career than Jankowski.

I'm also really curious if the Flames truly had Jankowski in mind when they traded down. Was their one of those other picks they thought they could sneak through to 21?

The pointless what-if to me is "what if the Flames drafted Vasilevskiy"? The Giordano as captain era, 80 percent of the Gaudreau era, the Flames didn't have a solid netminder.

Rebuild timing wise, that would've been a perfect pick.
