I think it is fair to say that Jankowski's circumstances have something to do with his being named to the roster. His being a first round pick probably had more to do with it than his uncle's involvement, but there are probably some other first year NCAA players who had comparable seasons that were (likely) never even considered.
It is nothing but good news for Jankowski and Flames fans though. I hope he tears it up in the camp and forces his way onto the team. He's certainly got talent, and if his training has paid off it wouldn't surprise me if he is in the mix until the end.
