I don't think there's any chance the Sabres are even thinking about trading him at this point unless they get a clear win in the deal. You have to think they'd consider a deal for Baertschi, but I wouldn't do it if I were the Flames. Jankowski would make no sense for the Sabres.

As it stands, the only place he can play for the remainder of this season is with the Remparts. The QMJHL trade deadline was this past Tuesday, so he can't be traded there. He can't play in the AHL or NHL until the Remparts have played their last game, per the NHL-CHL agreement.

Even the KHL season is almost over. Because of the Olympics, they accelerated the season this year. There's two and a half weeks before their Olympic break starts (final games are January 29), and after the break, they have one more week of regular season games, then the season is over on March 4.

CSKA owns his rights in the KHL. They have 10 games left (6 before the break, and 4 after), and are 6th in their conference, so not a favourite to have a long playoff run.
