Calgary does need a bit more game breaking ability up front. Gaudreau brought that in years one and two. But last season he let frustration get the best of him and teams keyed into how to shut him down more effectively. Hopefully he finds a way to stem the tide of frustration when things don't go his way this season and hopefully he can evolve his game a bit to one up the oppositions strategies to shut him down. The other way he can be made more effective is having another dangerous presence on his line to distract the opposition and give him the space he needs to be effective (which he only needs an extra second to). This is why I hope Jankowski can force his way in and bump Tkachuk up to his line. Who better to take focus off him and prolong zone time by working hard along the boards? Opposing teams don't need to key in on Ferland to shut the line down. He doesn't produce enough on his own, and doesn't piss off opponents as much as he used to.
