really can't wait to finally see Jankowski in action, I hope it gets done soon.

Still think Alex Killorn is the best comparison in terms of development and progression so far. Both have mid September birthdays and were pretty much the youngest players in their draft years, both were drafted out of high school/lower profile programs, both were lanky kids who needed to bulk up at college (Killorn was listed at 6'1 and 160 when drafted). Killorn had 109 points in 130 NCAA games, Jankowski had 110 in 148. The only difference is that Jankowski immediately went to Providence after the draft, while Killorn spent another year at high school. Killorn has since developed into a solid 2nd/3rd line player in the NHL ... if Jankowski can mirror that, I'll be extremely happy.
