He's still developing and developing well.

Ya but you also have to consider that we dropped from 14 to pick him. All 7 of the players selected from 14 to 21 have played in the NHL and 4 of them have played over 100 games. Jankowski might turn out to be a player but I think there were a lot less risky picks we could have selected. I'd say it's more likely right now that he doesn't turn into an impact player than he does but that's just my take. I would much rather a Hertl, Girgenson, Maata, Ceci, Wilson, or even Teravainen.
