It isn't the wasted draft pick that is an issue here, it is too many years of development that was wasted on him.
You need the pipeline to he hungry, not entitled.

Did you eat beans before this massive pile of #### you dumped?
"Too many years wasted on development".... Spends 2 years in the AHL
When was Jankowski ever a protected asset? When was he coddled?
Did knowing he was traded and have it fall through hurt his confidence? Possibly. After all, it's the first time in his career he's ever had to deal with that and players that have been around much longer also have things like that impact their play. You also left out that fact that his ES-TOI dropped by about 90 seconds and he started playing with considerably worse linemates than he had the season before and his offensive zone starts dropped from 52.6% to 44.2%
Anything we ever heard about Jankowski during those "wasted years" of development, was how hard of a worker he is.
There is literally zero reason to think Jankowski is entitled.
