Fair enough on Keith, although typically defensemen hit their prime years later than forwards on average.
St.Louis is another example of a player that was always good, but just never given an opportunity.
Hull and Gaudreau both entered the NHL as studs and everybody knew it.
Once again, I'm not advocating moving Jankowski. I think he is useful player that will continue to get better. All I'm saying is that the odds of him becoming a number one center are slim and that putting him in the untouchable pile is silly.

Fair enough, I respect your opinion though mine differs slightly.
I'm just excited to see what he can bring over the next few seasons, then we'll really know what we have with him.
