I expect that virtually everyone on this board considers her or himself "realistic," present company included. We each have our own set of priorities for evaluating prospects and projecting them against one another. I really like Reinhart, Ortio (whom I voted for in this round) and Gillies, but I also believe that a longer, more patient view of Jankowski is both warranted and beneficial. Bingo's post was spot on. He started his hockey career behind his peers, and will thus require another year or two of development and assessment. However, he is big, an excellent skater, and has very, very good hands. The package is tantalising enough to both want and believe that he will succeed.
