Management said he was 3-4 years away from being NHL ready at the time of the draft. He was ready to go pro a year ago and instead was sent back to become the key piece of his powerhouse NCAA team. Well guess what, it's been 4 years and this man is ready for the NHL.
Oh and the last I've heard regarding Jankowski is that he's no longer a bean pole. Just not used to using his size yet.

All I'm saying is he takes a little while to get comfortable. I hope he makes the team out of camp. But I don't expect him to.
