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.

Malholtra was a top 10 pick, I am pretty sure he did not exceed expectations with his career best 35 point season.
I realize that you find it impossible to believe that any decent prospect could ever come out of the NCAA, but Jankowski is a decent prospect. He is putting up similar numbers to what a Brock Nelson did in his first year at UND, and Nelson would be considered a pretty good prospect by most hockey observers right now. He is putting up similar numbers to what Chris Kreider did at Boston College and most people would say that Kreider is a decent prospect. He is putting up similar numbers to what Kyle Palmieri did at Notre Dame and a lot of people would consider Palmieri a decent prospect.
Now he has not proven himself at a "higher level" like Greg Nemisz did, but the guy is still a pretty good prospect.
