No reason to think he can't be a good player though, but probably not Joel Otto or Joe Nieuwendyk. I'm hoping for a bigger/faster version of Stephane Yell myself.

Weird...I thought this was Lance Bouma in a nutshell.
Janko isn't anywhere near as sacrificial and as utilitarian as Yelle was. He seems more Niewy to me, although he may not put up as many points. Smooth skating, tall, lanky, with great hands with the puck. Good attitude too.
