This train of thought just makes no sense. At all.
Why wouldn't you project Jankowski to shift to the wing? Or Sutter?

Size + Faceoffs.
Sutter is over 50%
Janko is one of the top faceoff guys in the NCAA
Both are 6-3, where Bennett is 6-0
Having so many centers and only 4 spots, someone would have to move to the wing. Those decisions would have to be made on the ice by Hartley and he would know more than anyone what would work best.
