Jankowski still has a ways to go, but man is he a nice player to watch. He totally fits in the Flames scheme of playing both sides of the puck and generating offense from being tenacious on defense. Still has silky sweet mitts and a great head for the game. He is still the best forward on his team, by a fair margin too. There isn't anything his coach won't ask him to do, and nothing Jankowski won't embrace and be successful at. Just a great prospect to watch develop.
Also have to mention that Gilmour has had a bit of a tough start but still remains the best defense man on the Friars. He reminds me a lot of Giordano coming up. Could be another nice piece moving forward. Wouldn't it be nice to see the Flames sign a big center, a solid defender, and a great goaltending, adding more depth to our prospects on the farm? Isn't that exactly what the Oilers need to do? And the Flames have that coming in. Awesome future.
