still way too soon to be judging Jankowski. I would be more open to discussion on that pick by the end of this season or maybe even next season.
last year was a huge jump for him, this year's his first year at center in college. Plus as a young guy, having a few years of college/NHL level trainer attention should hopefully have helped him bulk up by next year.
Maybe i'm just more willing to deal with the excuses, as i was happy that the flames tried to go out and find a high risk/reward type guy, who may be part of the solution they have been looking for, for 20 years mind you, at the center position.
