To clarify. Hathaway was waived and cleared before the season started.
Flames felt they need more depth at right wing and added Jagr.
I don't believe signing Jagr, was the factor that made the Flames demote Jankowski to AHL to start the season.
Depth at Center is the factor.
However when Jagr is activated from IR, will Jankowski be sent down or will they waive Freddie Hamilton?
