If you can still sell high on Jankowski, go for it. Doesn't use his size or his skill 5 on 5. So tentative. Confidence issues? Whatever, he needs to produce points and ideally bump Backlund to 3rd line C sooner than later as Backlund climbs up in age. I just don't see that happening with his game, where he just gets lost, at worst, blends in, at best, 5 on 5.
