I don't agree that Janko really regressed between his first and second year, that came later. He showed progression through his AHL season and first two NHL seasons. I'm fine with Dube so far and certainly hope he turns out than Janko. But I don't see the sure thing that some see. No one thought Jankowski would flame out the way he did after his solid start.
