Klimchuk's development has been very slow, certainly expectations were higher for his first pro season, but I think the Flames are gonna have to be real patient with him.

The way Treliving was talking about Jankowski in his Fan960 interview, he makes it sound like he had a lot of developing to do before he makes it to the NHL as a regular. Maybe he was trying to temper fan reactions, but I would be surprised to see Jankowski play more than 10 games with the Flames next season and he would probably only get that many games if the Flames fall out of the playoff race.
