Yes around the time he finished college hockey the talk was that most scouts thought he was NHL ready for a top 6 role.

Craig Button had him as the 8th best prospect outside the NHL this spring. Connor was ranked 5th and none of Motte, Compher or Jankowski made the top 50.

Jankowski is still less developed and further out. They aren't really at a similar stage in their career and development. But yes, he seems to be considered as at least as good of a prospect as Jankowski if not a better prospect.
