0% chance of making the NHL roster right from training camp.

5% chance of playing more than 10 NHL games next season.

10% chance of playing 1 - 9 games sometime over the season.

Seriously, I believe that BT will let him develop in Stockton until he's completely ready for The Show. There is no crucial need to have him play on the Flames right away, and there are 4 - 6 centers ahead of him on the depth chart. It could be a year, maybe 2, before he has a full time roster spot.
Post expansion, I can envision him centering the 2nd or 3rd line, thus freeing up Backlund for a trade.

Minor rant:
Jankowski is a LH shooting center-man.
Proposals slotting him in as a RW to start are ridiculous.
