I would only want Jankowski up on the 4th line if Gulutzan is intent on running 4 scoring lines.

I would be ok even with this:

Brouwer - Jankowski - Lazar

I like Stajan, but his shots are muffins. I don't think the Flames are going to trade Stajan, nor do I feel that they should. Flames are intent on having depth in the line-up - Treliving has always stated how important depth is. With some increased minutes, I think that line could do really well and give both Brouwer and Lazar the opportunity to rebound somewhat.

If Gulutzan wants the 4th line to be a prototypical energy line, then I would feel Jankowski would be better served going to Stockton and playing on the top line there.

Either way, I feel it would be a temporary move. There is going to be injuries - it almost always happens, and there simply is no way that Jankowski would be stuck in Stockton all season - even a half season would seem like a huge stroke of luck in the health department. He is the first call-up.
