Jankowski is the exact opposite of Baertschi. He has more size, is a better skater, plays a much smarter game, does all the little things well and - most importantly - is very coachable. No doubt in my mind that Jankowski has a longer and better career than Baertschi.

Baertschi already has made the big show. Big praise for a player not even a number 1 center on a college team 20 years plus.
