Does he mean defensively or offensively?
Offensively Jankowski is good at finding good areas to get the puck. He's not a one-timer guy but he can corral the puck and get wristers through traffic very well.
Defensively, I think Jankowski has Selke type upside. Jordan Staal level at least.
"Pace" is due to Providence's system. Seeing Janko in the dev camp scrimmage his end-to-end play was amazing.

@SUNRandySportak I'm also always skeptical of guys becoming magically better as a NCAA senior. It's ~ to CHL overage "production"

Jankowski
didn't become "magically" better as a NCAA senior. He went from 3rd line center (due to being a Junior on a team with graduating seniors) on the eventual NCAA Champions to 1st line center on the #1 ranked team in the NCAA. Of
course his stats are experiencing a bump. And as for CHL overage "production" Jankowski is 21, that's the
average age in the NCAA.
Jankowski can be an NHLer.
