My gut says they won't though, as his development curve seems on target to me ... just lost in the other names.

I'm glad someone else brought up this possibility as I didn't want to mention it. I think people are finally coming to the conclusion that we shouldn't rely on Jankowski to be the next Nieuwendyk.
My next pick is going to be Ortio. He had an outstanding season in Abbotsford and is close to making the big club. It's not that I don't like Gillies, I have him 8th on my list but he's too far away from the NHL.
