All of you penciling Jankowski in to the second line centre slot are on crack.
Backlund is, without a doubt, a better player than Jankowski right now. I would even slot Lindholm and Ryan ahead of him. No way in hell do we start the season with Jankowski as our #2.
Not to say he doesn't have the potential to be a good second line centre one day. That might happen by the end of the year, but as of today, he's not good enough to be that guy.
