When you look at the teams, Michigan both scored and allowed one more goal per game than Providence. Copp is middle-aged player on one of the highest scoring NCAA teams this season, whereas Jankowski is the second youngest player on a low scoring team
Not to mention Michigan's depth:
Six drafted forwards, including Copp, a first rounder and two second rounders
Three drafted dmen, not including potential 2015 top 10 pick, Zach Werenski
One drafted goalie
Compared to Providence's depth:
Two drafted forwards, including Jankowski
Four drafted dmen, including one third rounder
One drafted goalie
If you were to put Jankowski on a young, offensive team with talented linemates, it's not a reach to say that he'd have the same near ppg numbers that Copp has.
Y'all just need some patience (and context)

You are saying that Jankowski is at the same level as Copp? That is just non-controllable circumstances that is keeping him from having a solid stats line?
Should he play his senior year? What is the benefit of it? or should he turn pro and get into a better development environment in the AHL.
If the Flames see him as a NHL player in 2016-17 then it would seem now would be the time for him to go pro.
Riley Sheehan went pro with Detroit/grand Rapids at the end of his junior season as a 20 year old.... a few months younger than Jankowski is now.
As far as the relative lack of NHL material on Providence ... wouldn't that give Jankowski an opportunity to be a major star?
