I don't think the list is horrible, but the one ranking that really sticks out like a sore thumb is the one of Mark Jankowski. No significant progress my arse ... I think he's progressing nicely. You simply can't judge this player by just looking at the stat line. And even if do only look at the stat line. Here's a kid that has bulked up and has added ~30 pounds of weight since being drafted. Here's a kid that started his college career as a winger (year one), then switched to center (year two) and slowly rose to the top of the depth chart (year three). Here's a kid that plays a smart two-way game for a defense-first team. Here's a kid that wins nearly 58 percent of his faceoffs this season (up from around 54 percent last year). Here's a kid that has gone from 0.54 PPG (year one) to 0.64 PPG (year two) to 0.83 PPG (year three). And let's not forget that he's still only 20 years old!

Having him at 20 is a joke. He's still a fine prospect, he should be top 10 easily.
