Geez some people have zero patience at all. We should have traded Brodie before he broke into the NHL because he took more than a season to get there right?
RIDICULOUS thinking. Just because a player was taken in the first round does not make them a bust if they haven't made the NHL in the their first couple years of pro or have some adaptation period to pro.
Some of the comments in this thread are face palm worthy.

Everyone should remember that both of these players were drafted after Jankowski and are playing in a better league. I think most people are curious to see how Jankowski does in the AHL next season before they feel comfortable with judging where he's at development wise. For Poirier and Klimchuk, that would be two seasons from now.
