I went with Janko because I can see him becoming a nice role player on the 3rd line. Size, skill, defensive acumen and solid faceoff abilities. I think he has a pretty decent floor, maybe a slightly better Colbourne.

I think Shinkaruk eventually moves on in a package for another player.

Haven't been impressed with Poirier. Lack of points doesn't bother me, but haven't really noticed him much, which is disappointing for a guy with his speed.

As for Klimchuk, I always thought that if the stars aligned he might have a career similar to Lee Stempniak. However he can't stay healthy and build any momentum/confidence. Unless that changes soon, I don't think he catches on in this organization.
