The Flames seemed sure of this pick, so I guess i'm okay with trusting their judgement. But I wish Feaster wouldn't spew crap like '10 years from now, he'll be known as the best from this draft."

It's the same as his 'playoff guarantee' or 'fool me once' speech. Just shut your pie hole and make your moves, will ya?

Calgary also has the option of sending him to Saginaw as they own his CHL rights if they don't want him going down the NCAA route.

He was also recently selected in the USHL draft by the Dubuque Fighting Saints.

Picked off the board for a different reason IIRC.

Chucko I think was more of a lower risk/low reward. Jankowski is without a doubt all about the potential and being nearly a year younger than everyone.

I don't know what to think right now. If could turn out to be a home run. I guess we'll see. Anyway, it was totally unexpected.

Jankowski is a player like Gaudreau was. Short, but very skilled and might have been a 6th or 7th round pick. Then he grew to 6'3". He's very skilled, speedy, and is now tall. He'll be our 1st line center within 2 years.

I have a lot of faith in Weisbrod so I'm going to give this kid a chance. Risky pick and probably someone that is going to take a lot of time, but I think this can really pay off for us. Definetly rooting for the kid.

He will be nowhere near the NHL in 2 years. Start thinking 4 years.

Im embarrassed about this pick. We drafted a kid who basically played intramural high school hockey. It makes ZERO sense whatsoever. We had a great pick at 14 with Zemgus; a strong 2 way centre who had loads of talent. Yet we trade it away for the 21st and a second. The second round pick will probably be wasted on some plug stay at home dman that we normally pick anyway. God this team frustrates me. I honestly think the people on this site could draft better than the people who get paid thousands of dollars to do that job for this organization

That's because TSN and Bob McKenzie ranked him in the 2nd round doesn't mean the Flames made the bad pick. I don't know much about this guy Jankowski and I will not pretend that I know more than the Flames scouting staff. Feaster is going to pick this guy in the 14th anyways so why not getting a 2nd rounder as well and still pick the same guy on the 21st. Last year I am sure people were questioning Feaster in picking Sven. So, let's not judge this kid until he suits up in the NHL.

In Weisbrod we trust. This was the player he said the Flames should pick.

In the NHL within two years, developing into a top tier player after that. It's a home run pick.

I like the pick, having heard good things about Jankowski over the last few months. Youngest player in the draft, it's going to take some time but I just have a good feeling about him. Good luck to him.

If all works out, we'll be needing to find a RW to play with Baertschi and Jankowski.

Time will tell.
So I take it based on that quote that Jay was looking to trade away the Flames' first?
