really off the board pick
Mark Jankowski THW Close-Up:
Date of birth: September 13th, 1994
Place of birth: Dundas, Ontario
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 175
Shoots: Left
Position: Center
NHL Draft Eligibility: 1st time eligible in 2012
THW Ranking (May): 42nd
Other Rankings
TSN Scout Craig Button: Mark is a late bloomer but certainly a testament to the adage; it doesn't matter where you start but where you finish. He was not on any scouting radar at the outset of this season but when he did appear, he became a bright, blinking light. He is an excellent skater with a long, efficient stride combined with agility, quickness and balance that allows him to impose himself on the game. He can beat defenders 1-1 and is capable of opening up ice for himself and breaking down opponents for his team's gain. His puck skills are very good, with his playmaking and passing taking the lead but his shot should not be underestimated. His sense and vision is excellent and he's capable of making plays that open up terrific offensive chances. He is unselfish to a fault but when the game is in the balance, he takes charge. He competes and works in all areas of the game and as he continues to physically mature, he has the potential to be that big, skilled center that NHL teams covet.

He's certainly tall.... hopefully he fills out.
Sounds like a risky pick.
He looks extremely appreciative to have been drafted which is good.

I don't mind this pick. He's got a chance of being amazing. Could be a steal if he works out.
Feaster definitely likes to roll the dice though.

Feaster's way of saying "don't plan on competing any time soon"

Craig Button had him as his diamond in the rough pick going to the Devils at 29.

Wait.....this kid is still years and years away from playing for the Flames. This doesn't fit my made up narrative of the Flames doing anything to win now? Now I'm upset...

Feaster made the right play. Saw who he wanted and traded down to make up assets because he knew his guy would almost assuredly be available.
All you have to ask now is "Do I trust the Calgary Flames amateur scouting."
