and the answer to that is 'No, the Flames are not better served by having Jankowski sent to Stockton".
He was the player who exceeded expectations in camp. He came in great shape and forced himself onto the roster.
The Flames send all the wrong messages by cutting Jankowski. Instead of saying "come earn your spot on the team. We're prepared to make space for you if you force us to" they send a message which enables overpriced veterans to rest on their laurels and feel no upward pressure.
Treliving needs to create a list and make a move. that list starts with Stajan and Brouwer.
