I'd be okay with trying him on LW on the 4th line with Ryan at center ice, especially if they want to give Bennett a bit of a run at Center ice.
Problem is that he doesn't play "Big" along the boards at all, so he's effectively as useful as Joe colburne

If Janko finished even one check I would be impressed but I have yet to see it. A fourth liner who doesn't hit really limits his impact and that is just enhanced when he doesn't have much for other skills as well.

Janko is a guy who needs a change of scenery.
