Went with Jankowski for the same reasons I went with him last round. He has offensive skill, a two-way game, a long reach, a smooth stride, an accurate shot, great vision and soft hands. When the biggest knock on him a couple years ago was his size and now he's reaching towards being 6'4'' it's a reason to get excited. He went from undrafted in the OHL draft to the youngest 1st rounder in the 2012 NHL draft. Often overlooked is that he's only a month older than Monahan.
Once he fills out and hopefully starts playing "bigger" he'll be able to put it all together and become a legitimate top 6 center prospect. If not he still has the compete level, the defensive game and the size that should make him a great role player.
