Six more years! Six more years!
Of all the mistakes of the Jay Feaster era in Calgary, the longest running and most often criticized mistake (second, if the Flames had actually signed Ryan O'Reilly) is Mark Jankowski. The Flames traded down in the 2012 draft, skipping on now-established NHLers Zemgus Girgensons and Cody Ceci to select a project player in the 6'3, 186 lb. Jankowski. Right after him was Olli Maatta, another established player.
It was just as head-scratching then as it is now. Jankowski hasn't lived up to the hype John Weisbrod built around him.
