Yeah, like I said, a bigger Backlund is a realistic outcome. But you look at a guy like Blake Wheeler and you realize that Jankowski wouldn't even be setting a historical precedent by becoming a ppg NHLer as far as high school drafted first rounders go. The path is right there in front of him. We don't have the ability to know, and that's why we watch.

Well if estimated statistics chart that's been posted a few times has any truth behind the stats it contains, Jankowski had
-Bottom third teammate-quality
-Bottom half 5v5 ice time
-Top 3-percentile 5v5 goals rate
-Top 1-percentile primary points rate
-Toughest-in-AHL opposition quality
I don't think that's a far cry from "dominating". Against all odds, even.

Troy Brouwer for Jesse Puljujarvi but it would have to happen now to make sense to the Oilers.
