Except that those similarly aged guys are also less skilled. Okay, so Jankowski needs to fill out his frame, and that's a temporary competitive disadvantage vs NCAA players. But if he's otherwise better than them (and as a 1st round pick , he damn well should be) then the NCAA may be a more appropriate level of competition than the USHL.
