I know points isn't everything but if Jankowski can't get close to PPG in his 4th year of college you have to question his ability to produce at the NHL level.

While this is true, Jankowski's supporting cast on the 1st line won't be as good as he had last year on the Friars' 2nd line. Janko was dishing out beautiful passes all last season & his linemates weren't doing him justice by finishing the plays. This year could be just as frustrating, points-wise for the same reason. If he's going to put up loads of points this season I think he'll need to be doing it all on his own.
He's a good prospect, and though I expect him to put up better numbers, I'm not going to write him off if his stats don't improve.
