Updated "context" charts. Jankowski's numbers took a nose dive as he went relatively cold while his teammates went hot.

These charts attempt to track Jankowski's progress offensively in context with the two closest comparables to his situation: Chris Kreider and Kevin Hayes.

I feel they are comparables because:

all 3 were drafted out of high school late 1st round (Kreider 19th OA 2009, Hayes 24th OA 2010, Jankowski 21st OA 2012)
all 3 are big bodied forwards (or at least tall)
all 3 went on to play in Hockey East right after being drafted

Notable differences are:

Jankowski was drafted out of Canadian high school while Hayes and Kreider came from US high schools
Kreider and Hayes play for a better offensive team in BC, while Jankowski plays for a more defensive team
Kreider played LW for all his time in BC
Hayes played C for the majority of his first 2 years, then switched to primarily RW for his last 2 years
Jankowski started LW then moved to center in his 2nd year

This doesn't necessarily prove anything. Doesn't mean Jankowski is better or worse than those 2 guys. Just puts into context what Jankowski's offence is relative to the two other guys.

Also doesn't necessarily mean anything if Jankowski fails to meet the curve set by Hayes or Kreider. Again just context.
