Look at the age of each players production and try to put some context around it. Good on the Kings for finding someone late but it has little or nothing to do with Mark Jankowski. Nic Dowd had 9 goals 41 points in 74 games as a 24 year old AHL rookie. Mark Jankowski has 13 goals 29 points in 32 AHL games as a 22 year old rookie.
I get that you're the type of poster who picks who he likes and doesn't like then digs his heels in but it was a totally random and odd comparison to make. Especially when the thread was bumped to announce his hat trick game tonight.
Remember that poster who comments on how poor Hamilton is with random bizarre reasoning? That's basically you in this thread. Nic Dowd has nothing to do with anything.

I believe Jankowski will be a 30-35 point 3rd line center NHLer with the Flames .
I like his development and projection.
He will be an NHLer.
Is that digging my heels in?

Call him up!! We need some youthful exuberance. Bennett on the wing. Janko 3rd line center. Done and Done!

Pump the brakes there fellas. He's absolutely performing well, but if called up he's going to get limited minutes and zero PP time. This is his first year of pro hockey, let him continue to develop into the center we hope he all is. There is no need to rush him at this point.

Awesome to see him finding success and transitioning nicely into the pro game. I'd like to see him finish the year in Stockton and continue to develop alongside our other young prospects. Let that taste of the NHL motivate him now and through the summer into training camp next season.
Never mind goals. Outscored him in college and outscored him in the AHL, as well as being a 3rd line center behind Carter and Kopitar.
In Dowd's first AHL season he scored 41 points in 75 games, Jankowski has 29 points in 32 games in his first AHL season. At his current pace Jankowski would reach that same production around game 45.
So how as he outscored him in the AHL?
Also as freshmen their point totals were equal (with Jankowski playing 2 fewer games), as Sophomores Jankowski had 3 more points in 1 fewer game. In their Junior years Down outscored Jankowski. In their Senior years, they production was even.
So him outscoring Jankowski was in 1 season in college.
All of this while being 2 years younger at the same levels.
I've always been an unapologetic fan of this pick. That being said, I think he'll benefit most from a full season of AHL experience before (hopefully) earning a spot in Calgary next season.

Doesn't this show that the comparison is pretty good?

Uh, no? In our prospect group, even Mattson is tracking better than Dowd did. Jankowski at every age post-draft either played in a tougher league or out-produced Dowd:
I mean Dowd progressed well, better than Tim Harrison for example (though Harrison hasn't gotten every opportunity) but he was still a very ordinary HS prospect. Jankowski's a better talent and is producing in the AHL similarly to guys like Baertschi, Nyquist, Tatar, while being far more complete. In my opinion Jankowski's ability level is closer to guys like Radek Faksa, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Sean Couturier, Nazem Kadri, and a younger Backlund. Just my opinion though. A guy like Dowd should be promptly in the rear-view mirror for him.

Nic Dowd is a more benchmarky Joe Colborne.

Janko would've been called up already if it wasn't for the abundance of mediocre players congesting the Flames bottom six. I get Hathaway played his way into a spot, but when you have Stajan, Bouma, Ferland, Hamilton already pencilled in to the 4th line, do you really need to sign Chiasson? Why Hamilton hasn't been sent down rather than rotated is beyond me.

I think so. I'm sure it's not the first or last time a team goes an entire season+ without a single player getting a hat trick but I don't think it's common. It's not a jab at the players or anything just one of those weird stats.

Maybe you're just not smart enough to understand the reasoning behind it?

The reasoning is clear - they're in a playoff spot right now, and they've gotten here by being pretty damn conservative.
Myself, I don't understand why Matt Tkachuk is the only offensively inclined prospect to see significant minutes with the big club. The team is missing a top-9 forward. That's inarguable.
I said this is another thread, but the lack of a forward in Stockton capable of supplanting Alex Chiasson is an indictment of the farm system. Are we seriously going to believe nobody on the Heat can beat 14 points in 48 games playing mostly with Johnny Gaudreau?
A spark is needed. Easiest way to do that is a callup. Fate does not wait for us to be ready.

What's the deal with Prybil? I know he was dealing with injury issues but I'd love to see him up for a cup of coffee to see what he can do at the NHL level. Based on what we heard before he could likely outperform Chaisson.

I'm no Chiasson fan, but I think that's a bit of a stretch. Let's see him play a game in the bigs first.
