I think the Flames have been pleasantly surprised with Jankowski since he turned pro and foresee a larger role for him. That however takes patience.
They don't want to bring up as a healthy scratch.
They don't want to bring him up to play on the fourth line.
So with that they are talking to him, he's in on the plan, and the issue is one of a) an injury in the top nine or b) moving someone in the top nine to make sure.
a) is easy and temporary but b) requires a period of evaluation that may seem exhaustive the average hockey fan but prudent when it comes to sports management.
Treliving's greatest moves have come from patience, he won't change that because of the need to get Jankowski into the lineup.
Be glad this is the opposite of Oiler land.

Is it as simple as that? Say if Jagr or Versteeg is injured does Janko get called up?
