Essentially, I'm asking if anyone can tell me what Janko has been up to and what he's done, how he's developed and what you think of him in total and why.

Personally not all that well-versed in Janko. He apparently showed good progression from the year before, but he's not setting the world on fire ala Gaudreau. Really seems to be taking more of a traditional college trajectory, which I think usually shows weakness early on (lack of playing time in favour of seniors, teenagers playing against men, etc..) but then relatively rapid progression in the last year or so (like Hayes). I think he'll probably play all four years.
But again, this about where people think they will be, not where they are currently (although that does factor in). Most people will admit Janko has high skill, and a lot of room to grow. But he came from a lower league and thus needs more time to adjust. He gets great defensive coaching from Providence, which is a bonus. If he can put it all together he could be very good. He's probably in the top ten just based on that. But a lot of uncertainty.
