imagine the lemmings calling for Dubas to be fired if they ended up with Brodie leaving in UFA and Jankowski not qualified for Naz.
The avs deal didnt pan out but at least they still have Kerfoot at 3C
I wonder what they will say if Jankowski and Brodie both end up on the Leafs next year? It is quite possible
Brodie would have been a far better fit for Rielly and they would probably resign him. Jankowski may not be qualified but i could see him still staying in hus hometown to tske a dealimagine the lemmings calling for Dubas to be fired if they ended up with Brodie leaving in UFA and Jankowski not qualified for Naz.

Never said anything about a discount, just that he stays in his hometownGuys like Jankowski can't really afford to 'take a discount' to play for their hometown team.... they just don't have the career earnings to do so.

Is he good defensively ? Would he make a good 4th line center? Can he PK?
And so goes the next Wayne Gretzky....
He got dumped on for a reason. His intensity is very questionable. He makes Monahan look like Brad Marchand.Constantly getting dumped on by Calgary sports talk before attention finally shifted to the bigger names on the team. Maybe getting away from Cgy can help his confidence.
No, no, no.
The guy who Feaster was repeating in saying he was likely the best player in that draft (John Weisbrod), said he's Joe Nieuwendyk.
He has one gear and it's "meh." He's like a really bad Sean Monahan.Jankowski is interesting to me. People saying he can't skate are dead wrong. He finished 5th in skating at the Flames super skills so he's well above average. He's got size, he can shoot it. But he lacks intensity big time. He always leaves me wanting more. He's good positionally, but never drives the net like you'd expect a 6'4" center to do. He always seems like he's over emphasizing defensive play and exits the offensive zone early.
In 10 years, Feaster predicted, "Jankowski will be viewed as the best player in the 2012 draft," adding "We felt we could take the gamble."
So uh...yeah.
Particularly John Weisbrod, the assistant general manager.
“Weis thinks this guy, if he’s not the most talented guy coming out of this draft, he’s going to be one of them,” said Feaster. “High expectations. This is a player that we had targeted.”
Added Jankowski: “I really want to prove them right. That’s what I’m here to do. I think in 10 years I can be the best player in this draft.”
“He’s a long way away, he’s raw, he’s young, he’s still got to cross the crocodile-infested waters and develop properly — like, it’s a long way from draft day to play in the NHL — but the physical attributes this guy has. The athleticism. The skating. The hands. The fact that he’ll likely be playing at six-four, 215. I’ve said it to our scouts all week long — he’s Joe Nieuwendyk.”
