There is a difference in the way people view prospects, there are those who want to see them in the NHL yesterday and then those who take a longer view. I fall into the longer view category,especially with anyone who isn't a high first rounder, let the kids develop without dumping on them at every chance. As I said in the Klimchuck forum, I see guys that are drafted mid to late first round as long term prospects, making 3-5 year developmental time. Jankowski falls into this category, therfore I have no concern. Once he hits the AHL and shows no progression under the Flames system then I will start to worry,til then let him continue playing within the system he finds himself in currently.
