What I came away with is we should hope for a 0.7 point-per-game pace from Janko this year and at least 1.0 PPG (or better) next season. Aside from David Jones, every guy who failed to break those thresholds either became a bottom-six checker or failed to make the show at all.
Jankowski is only at 0.44 PPG pace so far this year, but it's way too early to judge him by that number.

EXCELLENT.
I'm not a Jankowski basher but those are fantastic KPIs/barometers - that really helps put it into perspective and gets passed the subjective crap. I mean there's lots of good points people bring up, important ones, but this really helps develop a better overall, balanced picture of Jankowski.
