What Janko could be is a potential rallying point.
Seeing this team slide, and Janko with zero points, a coach could take him aside and say, 'this game coming up, you're going to play fast, physical, and work the boards. You're going to hit. You're going to get a big chance here, but you need to be the hardest working guy on the ice.'
And then you set the lines, and tell the team, 'come on boys, we're going to get Janko some points tonight. He's going to throw everything he has out there, and we're going to support him.'
First line minutes, powerplay time.
Get the team outside of their heads and playing for someone, and not numbers. Maybe even get Janko to figure out the kind of player he could be.
In a dream world. Peters isn't that guy.
