Look at top fives we've seen
2013
Monahan
Baertschi
Gaudreau
Gillies
Jankowski
at the time 4/5 were pretty unknown, Baertschi disappointed
2014
Gaudreau
Bennett
Baertschi
Poirier
Granlund
excitement on Gaudreau, Baertschi down a notch, Granlund a depth player
2015
Bennett
Poirier
Gillies
Ferland
Ortio
bottom falls off somewhat in this top 5. People pumped about Ferland's playoff performance, but Ortio coming off a rough finish to a season
so this year should/could be a better list as a 5?
Tkachuk
Jankowski (surging)
Gillies (pensive)
Kylington
Hickey / Shinkaruk?
Is that the first time the top 5 are all projected upper roster players?

I am trying to get my head around how Jankowski is lined up to be an upper roster player.
Playing in his 4th year , after pretty well growing into his height he was the 12-13 highest scoring drafted player in the NCAA.
Are there 10 NCAA forward who e projecting to be upper roster players?
Maybe his size makes him a better chance to play in the NHL than some of the players out scoring him but how does he project to a top roster player?
