Not really, because to make Bennett expendable, Jankowski would need to be outproducing him, while playing competent 2 way hockey and getting some reps in on the PK.
To make Backlund expendable, he would need to come in and start scoring at a 50+ point pace, while making a living starting in the defensive zone, pushing possession,
and all while being an elite penalty killer. Jankowski will (99% guarantee) not be doing that so it's safe to say it's much harder for him to make Backs expendable than Bennett.
But, I think all three will be in Calgary having success next season, and for the foreseeable future.
