How is anyone supposed to take you seriously when you can't even get your facts right? Nyquist was drafted out of Malmo program from Sweden, he was then sent to U of Maine after he was drafted. Where he spent 3 full seasons, then he spent 2 season in GR. Even his 6th season after getting drafted, he played in the AHL.
He's going to be 26 by the time he enters his 2nd full NHL season.
Janko will be 21 when his 4th NCAA season starts. If I was a betting man, I'd say by the time Janko is 26 he will have played more then 2 complete NHL seasons. Not saying in what role; could be a 4th liner could be Joe Nieuwendyk clone
