Laughton yes, but TT and espesically Vasilevski are much more valuable then Jankowski right now, they're bluechippers.
Maybe, but it's foolish to not know that at the very least Girgensons, Hertl and Maatta are much better players/prospects then Jankowski at this time.

According to yourself. Because of their chosen development path (Europe and/or CHL) they have played a few games in the NHL. Neither has really "bluechipper" success. Vasilevski may just go the same route as Jakob Markstrom another "bluechipper" whom hasn't amounted to much yet. Some of the prospects you mentioned have developed well which is great, but to declare that Jankowski isn't a "bluechipper" in his own right probably isn't correct.
There are lots of guys who choose the college route because they developed slower and need more time. People (not aimed at yourself) need to realize that Jankowski physically developed at a slower rate (growth spurt) and it usually takes guys like him to find their strength and coordination 2-3 years after the spurt (i.e., Joe Colbourne). There were lots of good players in Janko's draft year, some have developed already and some haven't.
