I have followed Jankowski closely from day 1, and have been a fan and supporter throughout. But I am having a hard time seeing him as a top 6 player in the NHL. I think a 35-40 point, two way guy is a reasonable expectation for him.
Not saying it can't happen or anything, but I don't think it's 'blue chip likely', personally.
I do however, think Parsons is as blue chip as a goalie prospect can be.
As for Fox and Valimaki, if they continue on from an impressive summer, with great seasons and then shine at the WJs, then I'll be ready to label them blue chippers as well. But I think we need a bit more data, and some continued progression first.
