I agree. I think he's helping Bennett and Jankowski immensely with learning the subtleties of playing the cycle game. The Sedins would dominate the cycle when they were at their peak, but it was never with the brute strength and mass Jagr has.

This is something I think will benefit Jankowski as he grows into using his 'man strength'. It is about applying your physical assets to their greatest capacity. I also think he's helping Johnny with a few things, like confidence, as well. From a mentoring standpoint, I think this is similar to when Fuhr was with the team in the 99/00 season and he helped direct Iginla to shoot more.
