Yup Soderberg would be horrible.
Why the Flames refuse to give Janko a shot at the 3rd line C role is mind boggling. He may already be as good as a guy like Soderberg and is on the upswing rather than downswing. And of course just a slightly better contract
Elite teams in today's NHL have top end talent and then use young guys on ELC's to fill out many significant spots on their roster.
The Flames have a decent chunk of the top end talent but are nowhere close to figuring out the 2nd part of the equation.
