Would it be nice to see if he can turn into an asset for the franchise after expending a first rounder on him? Of course. Is it likely he really amounts to more than a role player int he bottom six at this point? Probably not.

Very myopic perspective. Was Joel Otto not a difference maker? How about Stephane Yelle? Defensively responsible players can be huge difference makers in the big picture. Don't discount the importance of a good shutdown center.

It remains to be seen if the player drafted 50th overall in this upcoming draft will have a better career than Auston Matthews. It's also unlikely.

Crapping your pants is worse than peeing your pants, but I wouldn't recommend doing either one.

I wasn't referring to that single post, but the multitude of posters who (in some cases) almost seem like they have a vendetta against the kid to continue their narrative from the hardened stance they took when he was drafted.
|
when you quote a post, it suggests that you are addressing that specific post, especially when there is no additional qualifier or caveat in said post that speaks to the broader narrative.
Janko threads, for whatever reason, always seem to escalate to the point where reasonable conversation is untenable...
however, these "hardened stances" you speak of aren't just limited to one side

How is Benzo bad? It's slang for a Benz, which is a dope car.

If he doesn't like the answers he gets, he look to Aug 15 UFA options.

I Heard the flames will be presenting those details to him next monday. Jankowski should be signed by 2020.

Benzo is terrible. It's not even close to Bennett and it sounds terrible. Just my opinion.

It's also slang for a class of drugs. It's an awful sounding nickname. Worst of all time

Hearing Jankowski is close. I'm sure Jankowski would love to burn year 1 of deal w/games this year. Not sure team would be as keen.

I dare say that if you refer to your Mercedes as "my benzo" you deserve every little bit of a swift kick to the shin.

If you can't see the difference between that and being more objective as to whether or not Jankowski can crack the NHL or make an impact, I don't know what to tell you.
