On a different note, what do you guys think Janko has to do to get a good look for the WJCs?

Not a big secret I love this prospect, but I think he needs to force himself on the roster. The first couple of games were going towards it, but he has cooled off. I think anything over PPG is forcing his way on. Anything less, and it will come down to how much they like his 2-way game, skating and size. They might see him as a good choice as the 13th forward. Might come down to injuries to some other prospects.
I think Team Canada is scouting him (though probably less regularly as the other kids - not his fault, but you can scout multiple players at the same time in the CHL as compared to scouting in the NCAA for them). He will just simply have to impress them as a complete player that they feel can be thrown out in different situations. He just needs to impress at every viewing Team Canada does - with and without the puck.
