Oh ya and as to the...topic... at.... hand?

The reality is that saying Jankowski is a bust a little over 1 year of his draft is premature. Players get better, get worse, get hot, get cold, get bigger, fill out, get faster, workout more, practice more, etc. etc.

It's a ridiculous assertion to state "one day this guy will bust" well ya, like when? Like when he's 28, after 6 or 7 NHL seasons? What if he turns it on when nobody expects it?

Look at Tomas Hertl tonight. Hat-trick. Whoops, scratch that, just checked... 4 goal game. Who in the hell was talking about him before pre-season? What about Drouin? This sure fire kid, who was extremely touted, has been sent down while meanwhile other kids look to be- right now- better picks. Is that true? Who knows? Maybe not in the long run.

But to run around and make the assertion that Jankowski's a bust at this stage of the game is totally premature. Maybe if he was like 22-23 years old, but at 19? Ummmm no. He can still develop into a quality centre if he works hard at it.

If you could realistically predict these things with accuracy, moon, you'd be a gajillionaire because of your infinite predictive capabilities and you should head straight into sports gambling as a career.
