Uh, no? In our prospect group, even Mattson is tracking better than Dowd did. Jankowski at every age post-draft either played in a tougher league or out-produced Dowd:
I mean Dowd progressed well, better than Tim Harrison for example (though Harrison hasn't gotten every opportunity) but he was still a very ordinary HS prospect. Jankowski's a better talent and is producing in the AHL similarly to guys like Baertschi, Nyquist, Tatar, while being far more complete. In my opinion Jankowski's ability level is closer to guys like Radek Faksa, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Sean Couturier, Nazem Kadri, and a younger Backlund. Just my opinion though. A guy like Dowd should be promptly in the rear-view mirror for him.
