Better prospect and most NHL ready don't always coincide. Jankowski is the better prospect but as the younger player, and a guy who needed to bulk up it made sense for him to spend some time in the minors first.
Foo may be more NHL ready because he's older, plays the easier position to break in at (wing) and happens to be a right shooting RW which the organization has very few of.
