Not in the slightest. We're talking about end of season stuff here, where I continue to hope/want Jankowski to be at or just under a PPG, which would be very good numbers for the Friars. If his scoring game doesn't develop this season I'll move my thinking to a third line player. You don't discontinue a players development because he doesn't hit the offensive marks you want.
He's behind were I want his offensive game to be, he's well ahead of where I thought his all around and defensive game would be however. You have to factor in all of that when pondering if a player can make the next jump or not. You have to consider all of a guys game when you sign him. Good thing the Flames see that and don't focus on just numbers when wanting a player to make the jump. They wouldn't have signed Josh Jooris after putting up 12 goals and 28 points after his 3rd season if that was the case.
