I am thinking the latter, not like you are going to overcook him down there, the Red Wings have been great at giving guys extra time at the A level.

I don't mind him playing wing, or switching on and off on the fourth line C with Stajan (who could also be moved to wing). Calgary's fourth line is going to be one of the better ones in the league. The way things presently shake out, that fourth line could include Stajan, who's a solid vet, Lazar, who has skill, Brouwer, who has experience, and something to prove, Versteeg, who is a very decent player, or maybe Foo.
Jankowski is ready for the NHL either way IMO. And I'm one who was pretty cautious about expectations for him.
