Gilles is too far away to say the same IMO, but he's definitely got that potential. Doesn't he also play for a big-time defensive team? Might be skewing his stats and he had a disappointing world juniors.
Reinhart is awesome and I like Jankowski's potential as well. Tough choice.

Providence is a solid defensive team. They averaged 2.37 goals against this season, which was good enough for 11th in the NCAA (out of 50 teams).
Offensively Providence ranked below national average (29th out of 50), scoring 2.76 goals per game.
I think we would all have a better idea of where Jankowski and Gillies stand if they had been able to participate in the development camp. As it stands they both have a big season ahead of them with a lot to play for.
