Again, getting Anderson is fine in of itself, he's a fit and the Flames have been knocking on that door for 3 seasons now.
Really it shouldnt take any more than Janko and a bit. I wouldn't move Bennett for him as Bennett would be a direct beneficiary of Andersons arrival. I envision something like this:
BENNETT-DUBE-ANDERSON
Tell me that doesnt look good. Crash and bang and skill. Thats a line. Heck, they might even put up some points!
Leaving Lucic and Ryan and a random on the other bottom six line. Thats solid.
Either way, I like that look of a potential dynamic, Janko is kind of an ugly duckling on this roster as they clearly favor Ryan for 3rd line minutes and he's too soft for 4th line center roles. Great PKer though but even that took a bit of a dive this year.
Janko for Anderson is a great scenery change move for both players.
