Not every player pans out at 22/23 years of age, Backlund is a great example of that.

That sounds like the worst asset management imaginable.
Dump a proven AHL player who is 1-2 years older than Jankowski so that Jankowski can fill the exact same role? And then receive no 2nd round pick?
Bottom line is the Flames don't need any more 3rd line tweeners.
If Jankowski can show more than bottom 6 upside next season, by all means the Flames should sign him. If the Friars become a bottom feeder team without Gillies and their graduated seniors, then suddenly that 2nd round pick seems tempting.
