fire everyone
trade everyone
At least we have Tkachuk
I think gulu should be fired just for benching Tkachuk this game
Send Bennett to the AHL for the next week, call up Jankowski during that time. Send Janko back on the 27th so he can be apart of the AHL ASG.
I'm not suggesting long term, just a week or so. Send him down for the games Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Make sure he knows it is just for that time period and that we want him to get 1st line minutes to see if it can get him going. Hell don't even call up Janko, call up Shinkaruk and have Bennett play LW with Jankowski, let them potentially torch San Jose, Milwaukee and Grand Rapids and build his offensive confidence back up.This would be interesting.

Yeah I got that, it's actually not a bad idea, maybe he lights it up down there regains see confidence then comes back up and starts playing with that confidence when he comes back, it'd definitely an interesting idea.
My biggest concern would be if he doesn't take the demotion well, and struggles. That could really do some damage.
I'd prefer leaving Jankowski there, and have Bennett on his wing. See if they can develop some chemistry. If they do, maybe recall both later on.
I understand the intentions but I can't see him responding very well to being sent to the AHL. Definitely don't see him responding well to being sent down and playing a different position.
Would anyone be opposed to doing Wides for Iginla straight up at the deadline? Team could use an injection of leadership in the locker room and Iginla could be a mentor to quite a few players on the team.
