Maybe we should consider his relationship with the Flames basically diminished to nothing at this stage?

Most likely Burke puts Jankowski on the back burner for his college career, lets him ripen, and then ships him for a pick after his senior year a la Knight.

Of course, that is if the Flames continue with this great new management style where Burkie is Pres. of Hockey Ops, GM, AGM, and head of scouting...
Because no matter how bad the pick is, you don't just waste a first round asset. Gain control of the player's rights and then if you're in total disagreement with the philosophy that picked him, move him for something.
