I voted Jankowski, it's not meant to be a slight on Gaudreau. At least in my opinion Gaudreau's got the most skill in the bunch and therefore the most potential. However, he's also on the hardest journey to reach it. For every St. Louis there's a couple Gerbes.

So I went with Jankowski. Jankowski plays a skilled small man's game but has the size that will allow for him to translate to the NHL easier and the potential to evolve and develop his game into a big player with a lot of skill. He's 6'3'' and still only 18 years old. If he grows another inch and adds a couple (50...) pounds he'll be a mix of skill and size. And sure size isn't everything with regards to both players, and Jankowski's upside may be closer to someone like Pyatt, a big but not physical winger instead of the strong, powerful and skilled center I'm hoping he develops into but I'm liking the Jankowski pick more and more.
