I know Jankowski was (is) a risky pick, as many have stated, but the potential he offers is worth the risk in my opinion: 1)From what I gather from his interviews, he appears to have a good attitude, which I hope will lead to him to really making use of the many months he'll have in the summer to get bigger and stronger. 2) He's got size (at least the "frame"). 3) From the brief snippets of video I've seen of him this year, he appears to have good skill. 4) Also, he is a "young" 18- year-old (a week younger, and we're seeing where he'd rank in this year's draft, which could be interesting).
I've got to admit, my knowledge of Jankowski is mostly anecdotal, but if ever Flames fans need to be patient with a prospect it's him.
