That’s the thing. Janko has a really bad year this season but his first 2 years in the NHL were decent. 17 goals as a rookie then a 14 goal 32pt sophomore year where he played a key role in the PK.
Like Bennett you see flashes that keeps you intrigued so I doubt the team walks away but he could be a throw in for a trade. I also think he would be eager to sign a one year prove it deal with any team and come back focused.
Who knows maybe we see a different player come late July?
