Second, they took a risk on the right type of player. Every scouting report I have read on Jankowski praises every part of his game: his shot, skating, compete-level, two-way game, vision, puckhandling, and passing – it’s all there. The only knocks on his game are his weight, as he evidently grew 6 inches in the last year and hasn’t filled out his frame yet, and the fact that he played in a Canadian high school league, where the competition is significantly lower than in major junior or the USHL. None of the knocks against him are related to his ability, just to his circumstances, which is an indication that he might be worth the risk.

the bad ...

There is plenty of risk, of course. That’s what going off the board is all about. The Flames were clearly enamoured with Jankowski, to the point that they may have become blind to his downsides. Their scouts loved him when they saw him, but they saw him surrounded by weaker competition that was nowhere near the level that the other prospects faced. Perhaps he was seeing passing lanes so well because the passing lanes were so large that they were impossible to miss. Perhaps he skated circles around his opponents because his opponents were lousy skaters. Perhaps he looked good defensively because of how bad his opponents were offensively.
