Janko looks great as an emerging prospect right now, but defenders who can walk onto cup contenders and contribute in a top 4 role dont grow on trees, even if they don't produce offensively.
Imagine the fanbase reaction if valimaki made the team this year or next. How high would we value him?

We would be very high. Doesn't make it the right perspective. It is a marathon not a race. Janko has yet to even have an opportunity to show what he can do at the NHL level.
Would you take Girgensens over Janko at this point? He too made the NHL within the first 2 years of his selection.
