Nylander is one of the most overrated players on message boards right now. He scored 3 more goals than Janko last year and Janko played 10 less games, on the third line. Way more assists but given the difference in opportunity, that Jankowski plays a premium position, has a much better two way game and is a bigger body who skates well, I don't think there is a big value gap there even without Andersson, certainly not enough to laugh it off as ridiculous.

Unfortunately for Jankowski there is a major glut at centre for the Flames and I don't see him playing winger or getting the same PP time as Nylander any time soon. Might be better for the Flames to move him for both him and the team if they are planning to play Lindholm at centre.

Edit - maybe I am missing some kind of joke on the Nylanders that prompted that
