Head scratcher how Janko isn't up there. I think having little Shinkaruk ahead of him is a mistake. Jankowski has the size, skating and skill to develop into a big top two line centre which are amongst the most valuable commodities in the NHL. His upside is a question mark? His upside is enormous and that's why he should easily be in our top 5 prospects IMO. I don't think Shinkaruk is signicantly more likely to be an NHLer and I don't think Shinkaruk's upside is as big as Janko's. I think Jankowski is being underrated and Shinkaruk being overrated. Just my opinion I guess, time will tell.

Do people really think VAN traded us an uber prospect for Granlund? I like Shinkaruk and think he has a chance to be an NHLer but if both players hit their upside Jankowski will be far more valuable.
