You somehow have Jankowski having a 40 pt season .... over the next couple of years? ever?
How much better is Jankowski than Arnold or Corbin Knight?

First off, a 5th or 6th overall and Jankowski
might get Chicago to trade us Teravainen? What an absurd thing to write.
Secondly, Teravainen has never had a 40 pt season, so I'm not sure why that is your criterion. Regardless, yes I do think Jankowski can reach the level of say Mikael Backlund's current play; 40 pts with excellent two-way play. Better size, and hopefully better at face-offs.
As far as comparisons to Arnold and Knight, I think Jankowski is a much better skater than either of them. We'll obviously have to see how Jankowski's game translates to the pros to compare them, but we've got plenty of time for that.
I'm not sure why you're in such a hurry judge the pick anyways. Everyone knew this was a long term project.
