"Copp has progressed quicker/better than Jankowski because he's scored more points?" - is that your argument here? Because statlines can be deceiving.
you get caught in the PPG trap when you try to compare Copp and Jankowski by only looking at their numbers. Copp played for the University of Michigan, and their team scores a lot more goals than Providence does. Just look at their roster - Dylan Larkin, Zach Hyman, Boo Nieves, Zach Werenski, JT Compher, Tyler Motte. All very good prospects ... it's simply a very deep team. So OF COURSE Copp got more points. He simply has more quality players to work with than Jankowski.
Jankowski might have scored less points, but he's been involved in more goals percentage-wise than Copp. This year, Michigan scored 143 goals and Providence scored 104 so far, according to hockeyDB. Copp had 31 points this year, meaning he was involved in .217% of all Michigan goals. Jankowski has 23 points this year, meaning he's been involved in .221% of all Providence goals.

Both were "projects" , Copps was a 4th round pick after a similar Freshman season as Jankowski. The Jets figure Copp is ready to be a pro. Will the Flames turn Jankowsi into a pro.
They are the same age. They played at the same level.
Are stats lines deceiving?
Is Jankowski ready to go pro? Are the Flames wanting him to sign now? when will Jankowski be ready? Will he be a better prospect than the 2017 #51 draft pick the Flames have waiting if they don't sign him?
