I also think we look at Jankowski and think he should be dominating college on a point basis just because he is a first rounder. Plus we have a prospect like Gaudreau who has lit the NCAA on fire and expect that from a player even though it is the exception and not rule.
For example look at Adam Tambellini. Struggled getting used to UND and the NCAA way of playing and put up a slow offensive start with only 4 points in his first 16 NCAA games.
Then he leaves school to join the Calgary Hitmen and puts up 4 points in his first WHL game last night.
Think it just shows that points might not be the best way to judge a player in the NCAA, especially for a 19 year old. While a 19 year old is expected to dominate in the CHL, that is not the case for the NCAA as they are still usually the youngest players on their teams.
