For me, I've never quite seen the potential upside that others (including the scouts) see in Bjorky. Doesn't mean the potential upside is not there, just that my eye test says "he's ok, not great, he is what he is." But I'm not the expert scout.
However, I also have some inclination to defend both Bjorky's performance and his TOI in the first 4 games in this way. With Dubinsky injured, Bjorky has ended up with Sedlak as his C (instead of Nash (or Dubinsky) the past 2 games. He's had got Milano on the other side for all 4 games. Torts doesn't trust Milano, and I've not seen Milano do anything that would cause Torts to trust him. With Sedlak not being much of threat either, Bjorky's TOI seems more a function of being stapled to certain linemates who are stapled to the bench, rather than Bjorky being stapled to the bench. With Nash as the C for that line, I think Torts was (understandably) more willing to throw Bjorky and them out there more often, even in the 3rd (stats may prove me wrong). But with Sedlak as the C, Torts sees no reason to put that line on the ice much, and hardly at all in the 3rd period unless CBJ gets down 3 goals.
A line change for Bjorky might do wonders for him, but what would that do for CBJ overall? Who do you move "down" to play with Milano? While you could argue that Andy, Boone or Foligno on the wing could maybe help the current Sedlak line without taking too much away from the production of their respective current lines, my guess is that Anderson, Boone or Foligno then indirectly get stapled to the bench (at least in 5x5 situations) in close games. Torts won't do that.
Do you move Jenner to C to help Bjorky's development now and get Torts to roll 4 lines for then next 4-6 weeks until Dubinsky gets back? Sedlak isn't a negative, but he's not going to cause Torts to play that line. Jenner or Nash (depending upon how you slot them at C) might be able to do that. Especially if Sedlak moves to W and Milano is out.
Or do you not worry about Bjorky's development right now, and simply wait for Dubinsky to get back so that the C lineup slides everyone down?
And/or do you simply hope that either Milano has an epiphany (not likely imo) or that management decides that Milano isn't the answer and comes up with another option for that spot?
As I keep analyzing this, I actually think Wennberg and Bjorky could mesh well - but not with Milano on the same line. Not going after Wennberg, I'm not suggesting that Wennberg move "down" or that Bjorky move "up". Wennberg's another thread. I don't care if Wennberg/Bjorky combo is part of a 2nd, 3rd or 4th line - it just needs a quality player on the other wing who meshes well with Bjorky and who has earned some trust from Torts. It isn't Milano, imo.
Sorry, maybe I should have started the All Purpose Milano thread....
