Jankowski is the anti-Baertschi. He gets attacked for continued positive improvement. Very strange.

It wasn't meant to be an attack on him - he is progressing, and I respect the opinions of those who watch him closely. Still though, I think many posters here are underwhelmed - he's trending to Joel Otto not Joe Nieuwendyk - despite the efforts of you and others to put his performance into proper context. Hence my comment that many would like to see him at a PPG, at which points the question marks (valid or not) go away.
