4-5 such contracts are holding the team. Stajan is under 50% on the dot, 14 points, easy to knock off the puck, nearly invisible at all times. You're overestimating the jump, Janko shouldn't even be on the fourth line Grant should, but in Stajans spot Jankowski would be hard pressed to get less than 14 points. He'd have to try to get that few.
So if the motto was always earned, how is Jankowski going to be less deserving? Especially if he shows up at 215 in camp and blows Stajan out of the water. There's no point keeping a 215 pound 22 year old back from the NHL if the person he'd replace is vastly inferior (at the present time).
