Gulutzan did indeed say that (40-40 split) I think it was an interview between periods. He was saying Jankowski needs to play NHL games this year. He didn't know what the split would be 40-40 or 30-40 but said it would be bad if he didn't get any NHL games.
EDIT: found the quote:
Quote:
Wherever he ends up to start October, bottom-six minutes in the NHL or top-line minutes in the AHL, Gulutzan says there are benefits to both.
"You're not going to be wrong with where he's at, in my opinion," says the Flames coach. "In playing in the NHL for a year, you're not going to be wrong if you do a 40-40 or 30-40 split, but where you're going to be wrong, maybe, is if he didn't get any games in the NHL."
