I think it us for the most part a garbage label put on guys who have big questions to try and make picks/prospects look better.
This seems to be especially true is Jankowski who hasn't shown a ton but has so many questions that people throw high ceiling behind his name to try and justify things.
He has shown 0 to indicate that his ceiling us better than a Scott Laughton or Brendan Gaunce.

I thought I made it clear. Malhotra was expected to be an elite 3rd line centre. His ceiling would be a 2nd line centre if he exceeded expectations. Thus his ceiling would not be as high as a guy who has 1st line upside.
It is not a "garbage label." It helps to distinguish which prospects have 1st line upside, 2nd line upside, etc. Most of our prospects do not have 1st line upside. The few that do are Baertschi, Gaudreau and Jankowski. Those are our prospects with high ceilings. It appears you do not understand why the concept is important. I guess we'll move on.
Jankowski has shown some of this, you just haven't been watching.
