Does Jankowski make the team?

[bluck]

3 games, 3 goals. He looked very solid again tonight. If I had to bet Janko makes the team. I was pretty excited when he made the AHL all rookie team last year in his first year in the AHL (Jake Guentzal also made that team before the call up) and I can't lie I was totally in the camp that said "WHO?!" when Feaster drafted him... but man Feaster deserves a lot of respect for the gamble if this kid turns out to be something.

Edit* Where does he slot in the lineup if he does make the team? Does Stajan get bumped to the press box or wing?

[hockey.modern]

Yes.

[GranteedEV]

Well, considering he's too good for the AHL:



Sending him down would be borderline insane.

[calgaryblood]

Yes, if he is sent down I am seriously boycotting the entire organization as it would confirm there is something seriously wrong within the organization.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Yep.

[Karl]

Yes.

[OmegaV4]

Uh-huh.

[PugnaciousIntern]

Yeah, I don't think it matters if there's a spot for his position. He'll either displace somebody (Stajan) or fill in on the wing.

[Flacker]

Would be surprised if he doesn't. That being said, pretty hard to relegate a veteran like Stajan, but based on merit alone, Janko should get the nod.

[Bonecrushing Hits]

Of korski

[dammage79]

Yeah, they'll need to make room for him. IMO he's showing signs of top six forward.

He looked so poised on the PP tonight. I giggled a bit when he winged for Bennett on that 4 on 4 turned 4 on 3.

Janko has EARNED his spot.

[Gaudreau is a Ninja]

Yes love him

[GoJetsGo]

He looks like a full size NHLer. Big and uses his reach well. Has shown he has a good shot and can cash in.

I think he's cemented a spot.

Where's the guy who hadn't really watched him but disagreed with everyone that he's been playing well?

[Robbob]

Big yes. He ia capitalizing on his chances and has shown he is capable playing both ends of the ice.

It's not that hard to relegate a veteran like Stajan, or even a younger guy like Lazar to the press box, and that could happen if the Flames sign Jagr for example (not saying they should sign Jagr, but it could happen).

If that's the case, Janko getting the nod, which he really should, would probably mean one of Freddie or Hathaway would get relegated to the AHL.

[Bunk]

Yes, this seems a no brainer. He's fully cooked.

[FBI]

For us that have been following him closely and not giving up on him for 5 years, it would be so satisfying if he had a great breakout year for the Flames this year.

[FlamesNation23]

Without a doubt

[Fire]

No brainer. He made the team. Should be the 4th line center. Stajan in the press box.
