Likely the next call-up if further injuries on the wing. I'd rather see him get a cup of coffee than Hathaway so he can get a sense of what he needs to work on in Stockton for next year's push.

Why next season? He's ready now.
Prospect aged players that produce at over a PPG pace in the AHL are ready for the NHL. There is a pretty solid body of evidence to support this.
the NHLe number for the AHL is 0.44, EatBread is scoring at 1.71 PPG (0.44*1.71 = 0.7525. 0.75x82=61.5) That translates to 60 points in the NHL over a full season. That's just a rough number. He could produce at half that pace and outscore the entire bottom 6 on the Flames roster.
He's ready. If I'm Tre - Glass and Hamilton are gone, and they don't come back. We've got two NHL ready prospects, not just Janko.
