Francis: The Project Line takes shape for Flames

Summoned Sunday from Stockton where he was one of the AHL’s hottest players, Mark Jankowski joined the Flames Monday with the perfect assignment: inject life and hope into a third line that has been dormant this season.
Mercifully bumping Sam Bennett to the left wing, Jankowski will have Curtis Lazar on the right, forming a line of the organization’s biggest projects.
Lazar is a 22-year-old reclamation project acquired from the Ottawa Senators, Bennett is a 21-year-old whose struggles from last year continue and Jankowski is the 23-year-old elder statesman from college who has been scrutinized since 2012 when he was the highest drafted Canadian high school player ever (21st).




Pathetic news day folks...will update later if new stories come out.

Nice backhanded compliment framing three up and coming prospects as reclamation projects.

How's Jankowski a reclamation project??

[Finger Cookin]

Who knows what goes through Eric Francis' clickbait addled brain.

Please Don't Feed The Francis

Tough crowd.
Lazar the only one labeled as reclamation, which he is. The other two as projects, which I'd say they are.
I thought it was a great story

I do remember whomever covered Jankowskis draft (I think TSN) did refer to Jankowski as a "project" when he was drafted... Someone who needed some time to develop and wasn't one who could jump right into the lineup. No use of the word "reclamation" though.

As for the name of the line, it's got 3 centers on it, so I propose the "3C line". May they never need to use a winger to take a draw.

Everyone referred to Jankowski as a project.

I guess it is tough to consider Bennett a "project" but I think he's gone from prospect to player but has fallen out of graces a little and I'd consider him a project too.

Janko is a prospect at this point though so Francis can STFU lol

First we have the 3M line, now we have "3P" (Project - Prospect - Project) line.

In 2022, he'll be remembered as the best player out of the 2012 draft year.

Prospect, project, penalty-taker.

Read that again. He only called Lazar a reclamation project, and he is one.

[Fighting Banana Slug]

I've been bagging on Bennett as much as anyone, but I did think that he and Lazar looked better against the Wild. Put him on the wing with Janko (and switch them up if it isn't working) seems to be a good way to go. That should be a fun line.

He's not and Francis didn't say he was.

Jankowski was a long term project when drafted though and it's paying off.

The LBJ line?
