Look at it analytically. Gillies has put up stellar numbers since hes been drafted. Jankowski has finally started putting up expected numbers. Gillies has always been a starter since his draft. Jankowski wasn't his team's number one centre until his 4th year of NCAA, arguably his 3rd. Relative to goalie prospects, Gillies has always been a top prospect. Relative to centres, Jankowski has always been controversial.
Hell, Jankowski wasnt even highly touted by Flames fans until after his 4th year and AHL stint. Gillies has always ranked high amongst Flames fans.
Edit: Jankowski won by less than 2% over Gillies. He received a minority victory, since less than 50% of those who voted had him as #2. That's not "hands down" aggregate consensus.
