I thought Jankowski played really well and had far more offensive opportunities than the opposition had against him. I thought he stacked up really well against those guys and wasn't out-played by any of them.
What does he have to do, make individual rushes through the whole team? He isn't Johnny Gaudreau. But he is a really good, and smart, player.

I realize that, but I thought in his second camp he would have created a bit more. I wasn't looking for an all star or anything. Mind you, the prospect pool is deeper this year. But weren't the better D prospects on his team? Wotherspoon, Ramage, Seiloff. So yeah he was up against older guys as he has been in colllege, and has a weaker D to cut thru, so what's your point?
I already disclaimed that he is growing into his size and position, I just felt wanting a little more. It is just one scrimmage, so much of this talk is on a small sample size to be held in perspective.
