I want guys who can play in the AHL in ELC year one, adjust to the NHL in ELC year two, and make an impact in ELC year three. Then hopefully you still have some good RFA years after that.
Tell me why Jankowski couldn't do exactly that after playing a year or two with Dubuque (or in the the CHL)? You do realize he doesn't need to sign his ELC tomorrow, right?
