So despite of your thinking that Jankowski is a good pick that is going to work out you think that where he is as a 21 year old he would be buried behind other young players to the point that he wouldn't get a whole lot of ice time???
Do you think Hunter Smith (#54 2014) as a 20 year old would be ahead of him in the AHL? I think that the Flames would want quite a bit more than a 2nd round pick for Smith.
You don't really think that the Flames could trade the AHL guys that you deem to be better player than him at this point in time for a 2nd round pick do you?
Jankowski has the built in 2nd round pick #51 overall in 2017 should the Flames not sign him.
If it wasn't for the getting a 2nd round pick for not signing him the best place for him as Flame, by a wide margin, would be in the AHL.
The best place for Jankowski is the NCAA.
