Jankowski worked on these skills and it's a skilled I place value on. His draft expectations don't matter any more, you accept the player he becomes. I can't believe we're still harping about draft expectations. If that's what we're doing let's cut Backlund loose right now. Such a silly and ignorant statement, one you continue to go on about.
Developing isn't a given, some players don't have the desire to play that role. You brushing it off shows your continuing bias against said player, and shows a total lack of understanding about development to boot.
I'm well aware of NHL-E, which is why I said some do some don't. If Jankowski jumps to the AHL this summer his offensive game can continue to develop. Or maybe it doesn't and he doesn't become an NHL'er. Unlike you my mind has always been open either way to how he turns out, not closed off like a childs looking at any opportunity to troll the thread.

Now you're calling me a troll and a childs (sic), trust you to hit the bottom of the barrel when you can't back up your argument.
