Jankowski is a young 21 year old senior. A lot of college seniors are 22-23. I think the senior production has a lot to do with Janko finally playing at a size thst suits his game. The knock on him early was he wasn't winning battles and was easily knocked off the puck. Sounds like his puck protection has improved and a lot of that is due to his size.
He is still a project but in a couple years the Flames could have themselves a really important player. Realistically however I am thinking Jankowski is a similar player to Colborne who also has great size and hands but will likely at best be a middle 6 NHLer
