That is far from an "OK" year in my books...and in fact a very good year for a guy who played HS prep a year earlier.
That being said, this year will tell more about where he looks to be headed.
And yes, he most certainly is a freaking top 10 prospect for the Flames, its absurd to suggest otherwise. If he flames out this season, then fine you can start to make a case for a lower ranking, but until then lets keep a grasp on reality here.

Jankowski was given a tonne of top 6 time and spent a good majority of the season on the top PP unit. This is not something often done for freshman players. And is a good reason why he ended up with as many points as he did.
If he hadn't been coddled by the coaching staff, he might have struggled even worse.
Agreed, this year will show us what he's got. But don't tell me to keep a grasp on reality when I actually spent time watching the kid play hockey this year. He isn't a top 10 prospect in my mind. If you don't agree, I could care less.
