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.

Curious as to what you would need to see from Jankowski this year for him to be a top 5 or top 10 prospect? I ask, because in a separate thread there was a discussion which made it clear everyone has a different view of "success" for him. 0.75 ppg? 1.0 ppg?
I think the difference of opinion is based mostly on expectation. You correctly point out that his draft position should not matter, but I also think it is appropriate to point out his age and the big jump in competition.
