I recall last year some people (probably resident Canuck and Oiler fans) downplayed the Baertschi pick because his age was on the opposite end of the spectrum.
I remember being back in high school and there were always a few kids in my grade that were physically immature. The story behind Jankowski is that he was physically too small to play major junior during his draft year. Last season though, he had a huge growth spurt and major junior teams were trying to recruit him.
At that age, a few months can mean a lot depending on the individual.
