2) He has size, skill and skating and plays the most important position. I'd imagine there are teams out there who think he can still be a 2nd or 3rd line centre with a greater opportunity

The problem is we can't sell too low on him. But he's a guy that makes a lot of sense to me before next season.

I'd imagine both Bennett and Janko are available. But Treliving isn't looking to give them away unlike some posters around here.
The boat has sailed on selling low. He is what he is, a fringe nhler. His worth is mostly in the freed up roster spot his absence will create. If janko was 6' he never would've gotten a sniff of the nhl. Just because he's big doesn't mean people want him. He plays with the edge of an elastic band.
