Very different roles. I think its fair to say Jankowski was better at his role than Sam was at his.....minus the physicality of course.

That is amazing PK work by Jankowski.
But it still remains that Bennett's 5 v 5 numbers are better across the board (and the percentages illustrate that he is significantly better according to some metrics), and 5 v 5 is the game situation that accounts for the vast majority of both players' ice time.
Now, at 5 v 5, you could argue that Jankowski is simply playing a more difficult position. That's why I would like to see Jankowski on the wing as Bingo suggested the other day. It might be that Jankowski, like Bennett, may not have the brain for centre.
