Ossi Vaananen Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This is soft, but Pronman has picked it up so let's discuss. Former CGY first rounder Mark Jankowski removed 'Calgary prospect' from his twitter bio. Could he also test free agency (like Vesey) or is he on the move?

MJDDawg Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Man oh man. I would not be shocked if Demko does this as well. Seems to be a thing now. Hope not though. Canucks have to do whatever they can to sign him asap once his school year is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Can't wait to see everyone worried till they poo blood over Boeser and Demko. Edit: too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saucypass Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Jankowski still has the potential to be a good bottom six player in my opinion. But still a waste of a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The problem for him is any team that signs him will have to give up a 2nd round pick for compensation. Is he worth a second? Not to a team like the canucks who need to stock pile up so young picks. I hope benning stays away although, Weisbrod did quote him as going to be the best player in the draft 10+ years out. I'd be upset if it we did but It wouldn't shock me if we did go after him. We need more young prospects (especially D) more than we need another center with a bottom 6 ceiling.

jstewboy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It only happens with guys who complete College or Uni.... Demko and Boeser are going to want to go pro this year or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdean10 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd think Demko would want to sign here, we've had a pretty good run of prospect goalies turning into the real deal, seems to show that we have a good goalie development team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd round will become 31 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robongo Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Anyone looking to defend Weisbrod need not look farther than this pick. He apparently has an obsession to find the "diamonds in the rough" and is so arrogant that he would put his neck on the line in order for a team to not only trade down and pass on impact players in the first round, but to pass on more impact players after trading down, and still reach for this player and then make some ridiculous proclamations about this player. Once he sees a player he likes he has serious tunnel vision and it's all or nothing for him. The fact that this imbecile is our GM's right hand man scared the hell out of me from the minute it was announced, and he has done nothing to sway my belief.

It never surprises me how far you fellas can reach to get at this management group and you are seriously just swinging your arms in the air without grasping at anything with this one. I don't know how you think the draft works but it's a collective effort where the GM (Jim Benning - you know, the guy that has done incredible things for this teams drafting abilities) has final say on all picks. Scouts have meetings throughout the year to discuss and rank their players. Benning and Kekelainen (CBJ) are arguably the two most draft oriented GM's in the league, you think Benning would let anyone call the shots when it is his time to shine? The Jankowski pick was for sure a surprise, but to define Weisbrod by one decision that plenty of others were involved in making is ludicrous. How can you even say it was Weisbrod that "made the pick", the Flames made the pick. Jim Benning also likes a diamond in the rough and having the ability to find talent in the later rounds is the key to be a successful team nowadays. Remind me what Weisbrods responsibilites are with the Canucks and specifically the draft? because if he has a big impact on the draft you should be kissing this guys feet. Tate Olson? 7th round pick looking like a 2nd round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
