NHL-equivalent PPG is a pretty good predictor of a prospect's ceiling, actually, and Jankowski's is not very good. I don't care how much weight he gains - until he starts scoring, he's not a top prospect. He might someday become a top 3 prospect in the system, but today he isn't.

That's what I get for skimming, but I'd still argue against Jankowski in the 3 spot. The choice becomes a bit murky then, but I'd actually take Wotherspoon.
