Janko is weird to me. Skill set is there IMO but the compete level and give a #### meter is what is missing a lot of the time to me.

Visually I thought he's looked bad for the most part, but his line has also had some spurts where they can control the play in the offensive zone (Him, Quine, Czarnik had one really good game in particular).

Advanced stats actually like him so far this year in his very limited/sheltered role.

CF%: 56.8%

GF: 0
GA: 7

xGF%: 57.8%
XGF: 3.3
xGA: 2.4

Shooting %: 0
Save Percentage: .833 (Lowest on-ice save percentage on the team)

Personally I think trading him now would be a mistake since it would be in the middle of a horrible shooting percentage rate. Also I wouldn't mind the Flames trying him on the wing with Lindholm playing center now. He did play there in college at times, and really his big frame and body may work better along the boards.

Personally I think the NHL has shifted a bit where you no longer need to be a huge center ice man, but you need to be able to skate. And really now size may be better suited to the boards.

If they stick with the same line framework from last game.

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Bennett - Monahan - Mangiapane
Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Lucic - Ryan - Rieder
