I really think Klimchuck should be in the conversation with these three. They are all vary close, but to me its Janko, Klimchuck, Granlund, Hickey.
Jankowski is not the closest, but I think he is the most likely to have a real impact on the pace of every game if he does make it. A Big, Strong, Two-way Center, with Hands, Hockey Sense, Vision, that can win faceoffs. On the second line that can completely change the out look of a team from top to bottom.
Klimchuck, might be as close as Granlund to the NHL and for me a probably the most likely to pick up first line minutes long term in the NHL, although probably not as the guy that stirs the drink.
Granlund likely the closest to the NHL and still has good potential to be a top 6 forward. Allot to like there, far from a slight him putting him lower on the list.
Hickey, Looks great but is probably the furthest of the 4 from arriving, right now still probably projects as a guy who might compete for a top 4 role, top 2 would be a home run developmentally, Not far off the development curve of Granlund but further away.
