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.

You know why players get top 6 minutes and PP time?
Cause they are the best options with particular skill sets to do so on that particular team.
Coddled? Good grief.
And I agree...you could care less. I will wager any amount that if you were to poll every single scouting staff in the NHL to do a Flames top 10 prospect list, Jankowski would be in the top 3 on every one of them. Period. But you know, because you watched him and all, they would all be incorrect.
Good one.
