I apologize if this has been addressed, but...
If Jankowski has to immediately report to the AHL / NHL after signing a contract, but he has until August to sign before the Flames lose his rights, then why wouldn't he wait until his finals are over? Unlike a 3rd year collegiate player, he's just a few weeks from finishing his classes. Wouldn't it make sense to get his academic work finished and then sign?
I'm just playing the role of a parent here. I suspect he probably has the requisite credits to graduate, but perhaps he (or his family) doesn't want to leave his current classes unfinished?
