There may have some small uncertainty about what his AHL salary is going to be, but there's not a lot of leeway for either party and I doubt the Flames are going to play hardball with one of their best prospects over $10k of AHL salary or a rookie bonus that require him to win the Hart and Conn Smyth trophies.
This offer has basically been on the table since September. The fact that we don't have a decision yet doeant sound super promising.
Time will tell.

From what Treliving said the contentious issue is whether Jankowski gets to use a year of his contract by getting some Flames games in this season and collecting early bonus money.
The Flames would rather he go to Stockton for their remaining games.
