I am not sure whose bog this is, but I found this part interesting:

There is very little evidence to suggest that he is anything other than a bottom six centre. He only finally cracked the point-per-game plateau this season, but by a very thin margin. This is also his senior season, mind you. Seniors generally reach a point-per-game because they get the most ice time and are more experienced than at least half of the players they come up against. Dominant college players, who will likely become great NHL players, hit that point-per-game mark way earlier than their senior season.
In fact, hitting a point-per-game is a very baseline measure for college forwards. Lee Stempniak hit that mark in his second year, as did Andrew Cogliano. Joe Colborne hit that mark in his second year of college. Joe Colborne. If Mark Jankowski couldn't outperform Joe Colborne in college, his fate is written.
But why stop there? Kenny Agostino (2nd year), Mason Raymond (2nd year), Drew Stafford (3rd year), Chris Higgins (1st year), Mark Arcobello (3rd year), Erik Condra (2nd year), Brian Boyle (3rd year), Paul Stastny (1st year), Jaden Schwartz (1st year), I could go on. The basic idea is that scoring at a point-per-game rate at the NCAA level isn't uncommon among guys who make the NHL. These players reached that mark earlier (some going way over one PPG) than Mark Jankowski.
