Technically there is nothing stopping from Jankowski from signing a NHL contract right this minute.
NCAA hockey players are free to sign pro contracts at any time, they just aren't eligible to play NCAA hockey once they do.
So if Janko wants to abandon teammates he won a national championship with mid-season, nevermind they have been ranked the #1 team for weeks now and have a good chance of defending their title, he could do so. Spoiler alert: he won't though.
