really off the board pick

Mark Jankowski THW Close-Up:

Date of birth: September 13th, 1994
Place of birth: Dundas, Ontario
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 175
Shoots: Left
Position: Center
NHL Draft Eligibility: 1st time eligible in 2012
THW Ranking (May): 42nd
Other Rankings

TSN Scout Craig Button: Mark is a late bloomer but certainly a testament to the adage; it doesn't matter where you start but where you finish. He was not on any scouting radar at the outset of this season but when he did appear, he became a bright, blinking light. He is an excellent skater with a long, efficient stride combined with agility, quickness and balance that allows him to impose himself on the game. He can beat defenders 1-1 and is capable of opening up ice for himself and breaking down opponents for his team's gain. His puck skills are very good, with his playmaking and passing taking the lead but his shot should not be underestimated. His sense and vision is excellent and he's capable of making plays that open up terrific offensive chances. He is unselfish to a fault but when the game is in the balance, he takes charge. He competes and works in all areas of the game and as he continues to physically mature, he has the potential to be that big, skilled center that NHL teams covet.
