The fact that Jankowski has continued to improve and cannot yet be labeled a bust makes me feel as though a little more credit could be given to Feaster et al. for this pick. He may not be the best player in that draft, as stated by Feaster at the time, but he has managed to progress towards looking like an NHL player.
This was always going to be a long-term project and you can judge the pick all you want, but it's hard to dispute what Janko has done between the draft and now to get himself prepared to make this team next year.
