Potential is a waste of a vote, in my mind.
I'm voting on who I've seen play, and how impressive they are, right now.
That's why it disappoints me that Jankowski is getting all of these votes. I like the kid, I think he has a shot at being a decent player.
People are voting with their hearts, rather than their heads.
There are better players than Jankowski on that list,and I agree that a guy like Breen is one of them. 3 years from now? Who knows. But I'm not taking this poll in the future, I'm taking it in the here and now.
Horak, Breen, Wotherspoon, Agostino, Knight and Sieloff are all better players at their respective positions than Jankowski is today. To be fair, every one of them deserves a vote before he does.
