Organizational Comments: Wings GM Ken Holland:
What GRC says: Summer 2009: A veteran defensive defenseman, Janik will be tasked with calming down the stable full of young blueliners in Grand Rapids. Not known for his scoring, Janik is a solid but unspectacular performer who plays well in his own end and will keep the opposition honest with his physical game.
Role: Defensive Defenseman
Projection: NHL 6-7 Defensman
