Jankowski looked good last year, but he was a senior playing against younger guys, he needs to prove it for a bigger sample size against men before we elevate him into the top 5 even.
I like a lot of the D (in fact they might be 2 and 3 on my list) but no chance any of them can be ranked ahead of Tkachuk at this point.
Tkachuk may not make it either, but I don't see how any reasonable fan can argue that his chances for success are lower than anyone else on this list.
I appreciate the reasoning you've outlined. But the bolded con against Jankowski seems like it would apply to Tkachuk even more.
