The feeling of animosity surrounding his name is not an unknown feeling for Calgary Flames centreman Mark Jankowski. After being selected in the first round, 21st overall, in the 2012 NHL Draft then-general manager Jay Feaster claimed that in 10 years the Stanstead College standout would “be viewed as the best player in the 2012 Draft.”
Seven years later, Jankowski has scored 31 goals and 58 points in 186 NHL games (0.31 PPG) with just 1 secondary assist in 34 games this season. With trade rumours howling his name in the wind, we may be seeing the last few games out of the Hamilton, Ontario native.
