I don't know, I don't think it's out of line to point out that very few NCAA players become NHLers without distinguishing themselves as U20 players. You can count on one hand how many guys who put up Jankowski's level of offense in their 19 year old seasons in the last decade and ended up in the NHL.
On the bright side, one of those guys is Blake Wheeler who took the path Jankowski was originally going to take (i.e. USHL the year after being drafted before going into the NCAA at age 19). In his 19 year old season he put up roughly the same pace Jankowski is at right now. But other than him there's not a whole lot, with Higgins, Abdelkader, and Frattin being the only other guys I'm aware of.
