Bold part unpopular. But, Janko has 6th most goals among Calgary forwards in the last 2 years (despite playing most of his time with Bennett and Hathaway). His PK skills would help offset Johnny's defensive deficiencies. IMO he has more potential than anyone else to 'breakout' in an elevated role.
That second line would be all-world defensively.

I'm not sure Janko's PK skills are the same as ES defensive skills. They overlap, but IMO he's on the PK because he has a long reach and that's about it.
Tkachuk isn't an all-world defensive player. I'd probably put him somewhere in the middle on the team.
