This is not at all what I have been saying. I have in fact noted in an earlier post that I am disappointed by Jankowski's production this season. I expected more. However, what I have been saying is that it is too early to be making declarations about who was the best player available in the draft.

If I had the information I had today regarding Jankowski and the others around that point, I would have chosen someone else. My problem with the pick as it sits now is it is eerily following the Chucko path. I followed his progress in Minnesota and it feels like the same thing. I hope I am wrong.

Agreed, but I hold out hope with Jankowski that his skill set is not what is holding him back. Chucko's problem was that he was a poor skater with average hands who looked pretty good playing on a line with Travis Zajac. Jankowski so far has not had ANY help inflating his production.
