Meh, it's not that bad - The main takeaway is that the Flames are going back to those beautiful retro jerseys full time which is awesome.

Was this an outtake from Heavy Metal Parking Lot?

Jankowski not qualified
He still has a couple of years to become the best player from that draft

lol - I think Weisbrod might have had a lot of influence in that pick.

If I recall correctly, those words were from Burke

They well could be, so it could be Burke just making stuff up. Who knows, Jay Feaster was GM at the time, so ultimately he had the final say.

If only that was true lol

Almost immediately, Jay Feaster, general manager of the Calgary Flames, defers to his right-hand man following the first round of the 2012 National Hockey League’s draft at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

Weisbrod is thrilled to discuss the boy selected with the 21st pick. His spiel includes a sensational tale about piloting his rental car through a blizzard in rural Quebec to clap eyes on an unknown commodity.

He’s not shy about having been blown away: “By the middle of the second period, I was laughing out loud by myself in my seat.”

About the undeniable upside: “He’s a long way away, he’s raw, he’s young, he’s still got to cross the crocodile-infested waters and develop properly – like, it’s a long way from draft day to play in the NHL – but the physical attributes this guy has. The athleticism. The skating. The hands. The fact that he’ll likely be playing at six-four, 215. I’ve said it to our scouts all week long – he’s Joe Nieuwendyk.”

To be fair, he (Jankowski) looked to be on the verge of breaking out with that 17 goal season. He actually followed it up with a 14 goal season, but dipped to 5 this past season. I think what drove most fans crazy though was how Charmin soft he played.

 

[puckhead]

yeah, my bad - it was Feaster

Burke said that when he was drafted? He wasnt employed by the flames in 2012. Iirc, many shredded Feaster/weisbrod for making that pick

Jankowski looked big and imposed his will in the exhibition game v the canucks last week

/guess you gotta give the former orlando magic gm some credit. its too bad weisbrod couldnt pull his third guy (son ? )out of calgary

Bumping the deja vu lol
