Thing is with being on 3rd and 4th lines is that you don't really get to score all that much or even a potential to score. Conroy even said the same thing before he retired when he got demoted to the bottom six. When Janko first started and the team wasn't very good and things were more wide open, sure we saw him score that 17 goals, 4 of which came in the last game or something like that. With him being on PK and on 4th line duties right now, you ain't gonna see him score all that much, especially with pluggers on the 4th line whose jobs are to grind things out and their times are usually limited.
Needless to say, if you have 3 or even 4 lines contributing to scoring on a regular basis, the Flames wouldn't be in the situation they're in right now. Most teams in the NHL, the bottom six forwards don't score all that much as compared to the top 6.
