Though I won't classify Jankowski as overly-physical, the kid has scored some goals this season from crashing the net looking for rebounds.

If I remember correctly it was from an "anonymous" scout right after Jankowski was drafted. I'll see if I can dig it up, but it was basically just a troll piece.
Edit: Found it, and it was an Eric Francis piece quoting an anonymous "high-profile agent."

CALGARY - Roughly an hour after the Calgary Flames defied conventional wisdom by drafting high-school star Mark Jankowski 21st overall, one high-profile agent made a ruthless prediction.
“The kid will never play in the NHL,” he wrote in an unsolicited email.
“I saw him play several times. He’s scared of his shadow.”
