You have to give up something to get something and he's really the only realistic trading chip that could net a top line player or prospect. Would there be growing pains for Jankowski? Absolutely, but top organizations go through this all the time. You think it was easy for the Hawks to part with Brandon Saad? I would hope management isn't getting emotionally attached to any player that's not an elite talent because that's a bad way to operate your hockey team.

How about trading Backlund and going after Martin Hanzal, with Backlund we get a nice package and with Martin Hanzal, we replace Backlund, until Jankowski is ready.
You are right about the Blackhawks and Saad, when that trade happened, all the Blackhawks fans were sad.
