Your response shows you never had an inkling of what my position on Jankowski has been. You just read someone isn't a full blown Jankowski fanatic and you go bat #### insane.
Too put it into perspective, I hope Jankowski turns out as a NHL Flames player. That isn't a proven yet although he's finally looking like a decent prospect. That we took a gamble on him when there were other better prospects available, was IMO a poor choice.
Nobody looked more foolish than you saying Jankowski was going to be the next Joel Otto. Here's a player that one scout said was scared of his own shadow. I wouldn't take it to that extreme but he's been far from a physical player, although that is improving as he gains strength.
Myself I wouldn't compare him to Nieuwendyk, Otto or Colborne, who have been his mentioned comparisons. Like most prospects let him carve his own niche.
