Nope don’t think that’s a fair assessment at all. This was Jankowski’s first playoffs and some people don’t seem to be factoring that and his age and experience level into consideration. Jankowski has the room to get a lot better.
I think he could be used as a trade chip but I don’t think the Flames are going to be as harsh on him as they will be on their more important and more experienced players who also disappointed. Personally I was a lot more disappointed by Brodie, Gaudreau and Monahan than Jankowski. Far less was expected out of Jankowski and he had no nhl playoff experience before this year. We don’t need to be giving up on Janko or Tkachuk based on their playoffs.
Gotta take age, experience and role into consideration. Jankowski gets another chance to improve unless he’s a trade chip that another team really wants and Tre decides to use him as such.
