I don't think Tkachuk is going to make the team either. He is oozing with potential but very raw. I was impressed with his skating based on what I'd heard - it's not going to be a strength but I don't think it will hold him back. It really sucks that he can't go pro and spend the year in Stockton.
Jankowski I think will challenge for a spot but ultimately will end up in Stockton this season. Super impressed with his progression though. He tries to do too much sometimes but he looked dominant out there. I don't know where he is going to fit into the Flames lineup though. I wonder if he eventually makes Backlund expendable, when Backlund is looking for his career payday.
