Yeah, I go to Wheeler a lot too. It's really hard to find comparables to Jankowski. As a 19 year old Wheeler had 9 goals and 23 points. At 19 Mark had 14 goals and 25 points. Both were raw project type picks, Jankowski more so.
Wheeler was close to a PPG, which if Jankowski hits close to I'd be fine with. Especially when you compare the quality of players a guy like Wheeler has compared to Jankowski.
For now I'm sticking with 35 points in 40 games.
Thrilled if he hit 20-20 though.
