I have been following and rooting for Jankowski since he was drafted by we all know who.

His first season was pretty good with 17 goals although the question mark of a meaningless 4 goal game throw some question on the numbers. Now he certainly hasnt come out gangbusters i think most would agree, but seems to be coming around in the last few games.

So what is he?
Myself i see a second line center in him and here is why.

The not so good story.
The sophmore jinx is well documented and may be part of his struggles.
After a dissapointing season he saw the g.m. go out and make a jumber of depth moves which im sure he knew would limit his icetime. How much did it hit his confidence or did it at all.
For his size the board play isnt great. When hes moving his feet he seems to make good decisions but seems less so when just dishing it off. My own observation.
young player or vision?
GG did not help.

The good.
Last few games he seems to be much more assertive so sign of good things to come?
Great shot doesnt use it near enough. Can you get him shooting more?
He has a penchant for scoring highlight reel goals. Obviously the shorty against arizona was a bute.

I still see second line center in him. He scores highlight reel goals and if you can get him shooting more i see a 20 goal guy in him no problem. I think were just starting to see the player that he is and i see him as a key piece in 3 years.

Ill also add he scored his first goal off his Janclownski. How could a guy like that be a fourth liner or tweener . That says greatness.

My 2.37 cents. Thoughts?
