Since this prospect is a long-term project, I personally would've preferred 'The Jankowski Files' or something cool like that.

I too, find optimism and silly excitment to be disgusting and crude. I for one would prefer more trade proposal Bouwmeester threads.

I would like to point out that no one has mentioned Matt Stajan in quite some time.

A perfectly reasonable thread. Happy to have a thread dedicated to Jankowski news as i'm sure we're all eager to keep up to date with his progress.

Mark Jankowski ‏@Janko61 If I was shaggin balls in the outfield in this homerun derby, I would definitely rob a homerun #YOLO


Aw man I can't believe he just used the term "YOLO"
Looks like another bust...

Drake said it, so now thousands of preteens use it to describe their everyday lives

Plus Dubuque seems to have produced some solid players lately so I'm sure he'll be fine going there.
Like who? Gary Suter?

Twitter to English translation: "If I was playing in the outfield, I would be catching the ball and stopping players from hitting home runs. You only live once."

Seems pretty weak to me.

"About to skydive with a pocket full of rabid hamsters and no underwear on, you only live once!" - Sure.
"Getting my scrotum waxed by a woman with really poor motor skills on a $50 bet. You only live once!" - Passable.
"Playing baseball how it's normally played! You only live once!" - What? No, that sucks.

Just in terms of guys that have passed through you have Gaudreau, Girgensons and I think Matheson pass by. They won the USHL title during Gaudreau's year. Just seems like some decent talent has passed through Dubuque the past two drafts.

Not too familiar with USHL, just have noticed Dubuque come up a few times reading about some prospects.

A bit early to call these 18y olds solid players, Dubuque hasn't really produced any players since Suter.

While true, there's a good chance his family has assimilated enough to have lost the Polish pronunciation.

If he went by Marek, I'd go with the Polish way.
