He was only being modest with his predictions.

I honestly didn't expect that.
My guess is Weisbrod/Feaster convinced him to go.

TH sports @THsportsfeed According to @Fighting_Saints coach Jim Montgomery, Calgary Flames first-round draft pick Mark Jankowski will play at Providence this year.
TH sports @THsportsfeed
Jankowski attended the Flames prospect camp earlier this month along with a handful of Providence recruits, who helped sway him to school.

The original plan called for Jankowski to spend a year in Dubuque to develop before heading to Providence College.

The Saints selected Jankowski at No. 11 overall in the USHL Draft this spring. The Flames then picked him at No. 21 in the NHL Draft.
Jankowski attended the Flames prospect camp earlier this month along with a handful of Providence recruits, who helped sway him to school.
The original plan called for Jankowski to spend a year in Dubuque to develop before heading to Providence College.
Jankowski's decision to go to Providence opens up an import spot on the roster for the Saints.

Interesting.

His ushl team must be upset. They seemed over the moon to have him coming this year. Part of the game though I guess.

I got the impression that it was Providence that wanted him to have the year of development in the USHL.
Since, the only thing that happened between the draft and now was the Summer Development camp, I guess perception changed when they saw him skate with higher level players.

Should be interesting to see how he plays at the higher level against tougher competition.

So, essentially... he's a Flame one year earlier than originally expected now?

He can leave college whenever he wants (or more likely, when the Flames want). He could spend 3 years there, or have spent 1 year in Dubuque and 2 with Providence. Doesn't mean he'll be here sooner.

Got it, I thought he was skipping a step in his development process, which would be fine by me, I can't wait to see the kid in the bigs.

Anyone drafted under the current CBA would likely still be subject to those rules
It's really not that bad of a rule though, it is 4 years after being drafted, the regular college player that finishes school is only NCAA eligible for 4 years anyways. So they really only become available a month and a half sooner to the free agent market than another player who goes directly to and finishes school.
