If that is all the Flames are offering Jankowski, he will likely refuse to sign and try his luck with another organization that may pay him more or the same but will perhaps in his mind have an easier path to the NHL.
And yes another organization will likely take a chance on him, if all it costs is money and won't cost a draft pick or a prospect in trade.

Interesting. Has this happened before? I can't see the flames withholding Group A incentive bonuses in an effort to have Jankowski decline.
I don't thinks they'll give him Group B anyways since it would be mostly a waste of cap space. I'm pretty sure he would need to finsh top-5 voting for major awards to get these and they count against the cap no matter what.
Not sure how signing bonuses work. Can you offer a base $925 000 salary without any signing bonus?
