If the Habs had to do it with Fischer, the Flames would have had to do it with Jankowski. The fact that he's still Flames property implies that they did whatever was required to retain his rights.

Whatever, lets just agree if the Flames really want a 2nd for Jankowski they'll be able to get it.
Anyways if there is a loophole, seems it pertains to only college players. This can be used as an advantage when picking project players like Jankowski. If they pan out, Great, if not your still compensated with a 2nd. If you select a similar player out of another league this option does not exist.
