I have a feeling that has been drilled into his head and that is what responsibility he takes most seriously. I think there may be some coaching demands that makes him play the game he does. What is most funny about Janko, when he was in college a few of said that he was going to be Joel Otto type player. Well, that's exactly what we got.

Jankowski has not yet shown the strong defensive play you’re talking about as a centre during even strength play.
Dude should be on the wing.
