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.

It’s not good value if you (a) waste the pick and (b) pass over a bunch of legit top 20 players in the draft to take a top 50-70.

And how is the ROR sheet not a blunder. It was just one that the Avs saved him from.

Hertl would’ve been a perfectly acceptable pick at 14. A 6 ft 2 200+ lb centre, who while nothing special, has been a completely viable NHL player since 2014-14, never scoring fewer than 13 goals. We left 308 career points in 491 NHL games on the table in favour of 75 points in 248.

I’ve defended the Jankowski pick for nearly a decade - it’s done. It was the wrong pick then, and time has done nothing to change that.
