Never even thought of Jankowski not signing with the Flames so there was no panic here. I think this is good move for both parties. I am glad he will start playing for Stockton first so he can learn the pro system. I am also glad he did not burn a year off his ELC. I am never been a fan of having someone burning a year off their ELC only to play a game or a little more before the end of the season. It is just a waste. I am not sure if Jankowski will be ready for NHL next season yet but I am hoping he will prove me wrong and show the Flames brass he is ready. I see big potential with this guy. He can be a Craig Conroy type of player that can play on both end of the game.
Too bad for John Gilmour though. I hope the Flames will give him a chance to play in Stockton and hopefully he'll surprise everyone. I can understand why they don't want to sign him though since we have a lot of young D-men in our organization. Where are you going to put the likes of Wotherspoon(might get the #7D next season), Kulak is next in line, Kylington will probably play another season in AHL, Sieloff, Kanzig, Andersson(might play another season in junior), Morrison and others. Good to have the depth but you still need too play them.
