I'd like to see what he can do on Jankowski's wing. This Flames team has done a great job at finding their pairs, and they work:
Gaudreau - Monahan
Backlund - Frolik
Bennett - Jankowski?
I see the two being a good fit for each other. Bennett came into the league with the billing as a skilled player with an edge. Jankowski was drafted early for his high IQ and size. Bennett on the wing takes a bit of pressure off and allows him to simplify the game -- but this all works only if Jankowski can play 3rd line NHL next year.
I don't know what the RW would be, but there's options. Brouwer, Foo, Ferland or Versteeg are all players I could see on that role and bringing something entirely different to that line.
Would be a nightmare of a team to have all 3 lines rolling with those foundations.
