That was King , in Calgary saying how the high schooler was going to be the next Bobby Orr. Jankowski played D most of his non professional career, I’m surprised they weren’t patient with the young man and groom him a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe he was similar to Parise where the Islanders had a contract done but hadn’t yet filed it or done an official confirmation, but now looks like that may not be the case. I guess in addition to Zajac, there’s also Neal, Chiasson, Gustafsson, and Dubnyk still out there (as well as the several players I mentioned earlier), when it comes to PTO candidates with name recognition. I really would like to see a PTO go to a guy that can provide center depth, especially to our bottom 6. I don't want to see Miller dragged into a 3C role, his 1LW role is too important to our success. Galchenyuk, Staal and Zajac are the 3 available UFAs with name recognition. I think Zajac is the better of the 3, from last season: Edited September 15, 2021 by BigTramFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zajac is the better of the 3, from last season: Yeah, definitely as far as last (regular) season goes, Zajac looks to be the better of the three (although there’s an argument for Galchenyuk having better underlyings, and he’s certainly on the more favourable side of the age curves). Staal seemed to have gotten old and slow very quickly, going from being a legitimate top-six player just a year ago, to being well in the sub-replacement level tier for most of this past regular season. I think he’s probably not quite as bad as that, and he had some good moments in the playoffs, but he’s certainly declined rather quickly. Still, for a 5C/depth player, probably any one of them could fit the bill. I definitely wouldn’t be against adding some veteran “graybeard” depth at 750K. Especially if they’re also willing to go down to Abby, if the roster situation demands it, and help mentor some of the kids. Not sure there’s a great chance of getting either Zajac or Staal to choose Vancouver (if they have other options), but we’ll see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree any one of those guys would be good depth. I like Zajac primarily because he is so defensively responsible (look at his +/- compared to the other two). He is like Sutter with a bit more offensive upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zajac is the better of the 3, from last season: Galchenyuk is good too. I've always thought he was a good player. Zajac is too old for our team and Staal has declined too quickly. All good points, but I take Chucky over Zajac. In this league it's all about youth and potential and I still see Galchenyuk as a top nine forward, a potential option down the middle if there's an injury, that kind of stuff. Sutter's definitely a better option as a 4C, but Chucky could probably displace Highmore in some games. Then there's that bit about Jankowski being the "steal of the 2012 draft", which somebody mentioned. Seriously, I don't see how that's they could've seen that in him. Did they not see the league he was playing in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I like Jankowski. He is horrible offensively but when you can pay a guy league minimum to play solid defensively in a 4th line role and kill penalties it opens up cash to spend higher up in the lineup. He is kind of like what we hoped Beagle to be, except paid Beagle 3 million per year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 2nd amongst CGY forwards 2 years ago in SH TOI/GP two years ago and 4th amongst forwards on a deeper Pens team last year. He's a big body, has put up 30+ points, former first round pick, has scored a bunch of short handed goals. Could actually be a longer term Sutter replacement with two high energy wingers like Motte, Highmore and/or Lockwood on the side - and it seems like he could be had for league minimum.
