Really though, just proves that this debate over Janko has raged on since the minute he was drafted. Has gone on in the same circle endlessly on the same points since. And it won't stop until he steps on Calgary ice for the first time (signed and earning a roster spot). And even then, the detractors will gleefully point out every minute flaw in his game until he is either traded, busted or until he breaks out and shuts all of em up. There is no dead horse to beat, it's bones have already be pounded into dust and used as flour to make some dead horse bread. Now pass the butter.

You're right that the debate will go on. However, that doesn't mean it's not a valid debate, and more importantly it should be possible to discuss a prospect without looking at it as a pro-prospect, anti-prospect thing where one side are painted as "detractors".
If it's a painful discussion to some, it really can't be helped. A draft pick will always be compared to other draft picks that could have been taken instead of him. Jankowski isn't a special case just because he's a long shot prospect.
