Chucko was lost on an offensive team and was put on the 4th line. Jankowski is playing important minutes for his team, maybe some of the most important minutes in their forward ranks.
Chucko had 13 points as a 19 year old sophomore, 16th on his team in scoring.
Jankowski had 25 points as a 19 year old sophomore, 3rd on his team.
If Mark went pro it will because they think he's ready, Chucko went pro because he was totally lost in Minnesota and wasn't being used at all, in any sort of meaty role.
The only similarity is player moving from College to pro, anything beyond is you making poor parallels.

Well yeah, Chucko was playing behind Kessel and Wheeler on RW in his second year but the similarity is that both (in the case of some posters opinion) weren't progressing the way management wanted them to in their programs. Chucko because he dropped down the depth chart and Jankowski because of the team defensive style.
